  I am a faculty member of the Civil and Environmental Engineering Department at Northwestern University where I moved in August 2011. Prior to that I worked at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute for six years (2005-2011). I teach undergraduate and graduate courses of the civil engineering curriculum and perform research in the field of Mechanics of Quasi-Brittle Materials. <br/> <br/>My alma mater is the Politecnico di Milano (Milan, Italy) where I worked in the research group of Prof. Luigi Cedolin. I obtained my “Laurea” degree in 1998, with a thesis on the viscoelastic behavior of concrete subjected to variable temperature and humidity, and my PhD degree in 2002, with a dissertation dealing with mesoscale modeling of concrete. Prior to joining Rensselaer, I worked, as post-doctoral research associate, in the research group of Prof. Zdenek P. Bazant at Northwestern University. During that time I developed a microplane model for composite laminates with quasi-brittle matrix. <br/> <br/>I am member of ASCE, ACI, and USACM and active in several technical committees. In the last ten years, I have been working in the field of computational and applied mechanics, with emphasis on heterogeneous and quasi-brittle materials, concrete and reinforced concrete modeling. In addition, my research interests include: micro- and meso-mechanics, linear and nonlinear fracture mechanics, nonlinear constitutive modeling, concrete creep, rate effect on material strength, moisture and heat transfer, and concrete-steel interface behavior. Currently, I am performing research aiming at the formulation and validation of computational technologies for the simulation of blast and impact effect on structures. <br/> Northwestern University
