Research activities and projects: 
  • NCEER at SUNY Buffalo – Experimental studies on an actively controlled shear type model on a shaking table (1992 –1994)
  • University of L’Aquila – Experimental and analytical studies on active control methods for oscillation reduction in structural systems with nonlinear behaviour due to geometry or/and fluid-structure interaction, such as cables and cable-supported structures immersed in air or water (1996-current)
  • Researcher in different projects, currently supported by CNR (EOLICA,1997) MURST (Project of National interest on dynamic behaviour of structures, 1997-1999 renewed 1999-2001).
  • Author of more than 30 publications both in international journal and international conferences;
  • Member of different associations of structural mechanics such as ACS (European Association for Control of Structures), AIMETA (Associazione Italiana Meccanica Teorica ed Applicata), ANIV (Associazione Italiana Ingegneria del Vento).
