Politecnico di Torino, Italy
Biography:
Maria Cinefra is a Ph.D. student at Politecnico di Torino. She earned a BSc in Aerospace Engineering at Politecnico di Torino in March 2007 by discussing a thesis on the method of finite elements in elliptic differential equations. Afterwards she attended an MSc in Aerospace Engineering at Politecnico di Torino and she earned the master degree in March 2008 at Politecnico di Torino with summa cum laude, presenting a work on thermo-mechanical analysis of functionally graded materials (FGM) shells. M. Cinefra started her Ph.D. in January 2009 under the supervision of Prof. Erasmo Carrera and her research project is related to the "Thermo-mechanical design of multi-layered plates and shell embedding FGM layers". She is enrolled in a Ph.D. with a foreign co-advisor, Prof. Olivier Polit, at the University of Paris Ouest Nanterre. Her research project is funded by the Fonds National de la Recherche of Luxembourg and it is performed in collaboration with the CRP Henri Tudor of Esch (Lux). In 2010 she worked as teaching assistant at the Politecnico di Torino for the courses of "Non-linear analysis of structures" and "Structures for spatial vehicles". She was involved in a collaboration with the Department of Mathematics of Università di Pavia in order to create a new shell finite element based on the Unified Formulation by Carrera. Currently, M. Cinefra works to extend such element to the analysis of composite materials and multi-field problems.
