SHORT BIO:

Filippo Ubertini is a Full Professor of Structural Design at the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering of University of Perugia where he teaches Advanced Structural Design and Earthquake Engineering and where he coordinates the International PhD Program in Civil and Environmental Engineering. He graduated cum laude in Civil Engineering at University of Perugia in 2005 and received his PhD in Civil Engineering from University of Pavia in 2009. He was visiting scholar at Columbia University in 2008. Author of more than 75 papers published in high impact international journals, his research is mainly focused on structural health monitoring, with emphasis on smart materials and applications to earthquake engineering and cultural heritage structures. He is a member of the editorial boards of: Sensors, Advances in Civil Engineering, Shock and Vibration, Mathematical Problems in Engineering and Engineering Research Express. Dr. Ubertini has been awarded by the Italian Association for Wind Engineering in 2010 and has received best papers awards in EVACES 2011 and IOMAC 2019.
