Dr. Alessandro Fascetti received his bachelor and master degrees in Civil Engineering from the Sapienza University of Rome. He obtained his Ph.D. from the same institution in 2016. He then joined the Multiscale Computational Mechanics Laboratory (MCML) in the Civil and Environmental Engineering Department at Vanderbilt University as a Postdoctoral Research Fellow. After 2 years as a Lecturer for the School of Engineering at The University of Waikato, he joined the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at the University of Pittsburgh in 2021. Dr. Fascetti conducts research on digital twin modeling of complex engineering systems for large-scale resilience assessment and operational maintenance optimization. His work focuses on failure mechanics as well as durability aspects, combining multiscale experimental information with in-situ and remote sensing techniques. He has authored over 40 peer-reviewed manuscripts, and secured research funding in excess of $4.5M. He is the recipient of several national and international award, among which the prestigious Roberta Luxbacher Faculty Fellowship from the Swanson School of Engineering at the University of Pittsburgh.
