Alessandro Marzani received an M.Sc. in Structural Engineering from the University of California, San Diego, USA, and an M.Sc. (Laurea) in Civil Engineering from the University of Bologna, Italy. He obtained his Ph.D. in Structural Engineering from the University of Calabria, Italy, in 2005.
Dr. Marzani’s research interests focus on non-destructive evaluation techniques for materials and structures, structural health monitoring, linear and nonlinear ultrasonic guided wave propagation, structural optimization, and structural identification strategies. His recent research also addresses structured materials for wave propagation control, including mechanical and acoustic metamaterials.
He has served as coordinator of national and European research projects and as principal investigator for industrial research contracts. Dr. Marzani is certified as Level 3 in guided-wave-based non-destructive testing (UNI EN 473 and ISO 9712), holds three patents, and actively collaborates with public authorities on the standardization of methodologies and technologies for non-destructive testing and structural health monitoring.
