Autobiography:
My research interests include nonlinear mechanics of soft active solids and structures, swelling-driven mechanics of polymeric materials, design and control of stimuli-responsive materials, cardiac mechanics and modeling of muscle contraction.
Biography:
Born on December 29, 1962. Graduated in Engineering in 1987. PhD in Structural Mechanics in 1992. Professor of Mechanics of Solids and Structures since 2005 at the Università di Roma “La Sapienza”. Member of the Department of Structural Engineering and Geotechnics.
Member of the Italian Research Group in Mathematical Physics (GNFM), the Italian Association of Theoretical and Applied Mechanics (AIMETA), the Italian Society of Applied and Industrial Mathematics (SIMAI), the European Mechanics Society (EUROMECH).
Main research lines (in chronological order): relation between structural mechanics and the three-dimensional theory of elasticity; plates and shells models; direct theory of bodies with affine microstructure; direct theory of rods as one-dimensional continuua with affine microstructure; procedures for constitutive identification; modeling junctions in elastic multistructures; biomechanics of blood vessels; remodeling of arterial walls; electro-mechanical models of excitable elastic tissues; cardiac mechanics.
