ABOUT GIUSEPPE OCCHIPINTI

Giuseppe Occhipinti graduated at University of Catania in Structural Engineering (2004), and, after ten years of consulting in the sector of NDT tests and seismic assessment, he earned the PhD in Structural Engineering (20••••17). Successively, he obtained an II level certificate for dynamic testing (2020) and an II level master in Diagnostic Analysis and Monitoring of Structures and Infrastructures with honour (2022). During his PhD, he was visiting student at Imperial College of London in the Computational Structural Mechanics group.He was researcher fellow at the National Research Council IGAG-CNR (2018 – 2021) where he developed simplified continuous beam models for buildings. He earned a research fellowship at the University of Rome “Sapienza” (2022) for the FE modelling of the Sarcophagus of the Spouses (~520 BC) in MONALISA Project. He collaborates with INGV (20••••24) as external consultant. He is external resource at the University of Roma Tre (20••••24) for a model updating software coding. He has experience in structural assessment of heritage buildings (e.g. Basilica Sant’Andrea della Valle, Palazzo Venezia) and dynamic identification of bridges (e.g. Herøysund bridge, Skattørsundet bridge) with private companies. He is a non academic member of the WRENCH project (webs.uab.cat/wrench) with the role of person in charge for modelling and monitoring of the Saint George Dome in Ragusa Ibla. His main interests are numerical modelling, model updating, seismic assessment and SHM of masonry heritage structures.
