Biography

Gian Paolo Cimellaro is currently Professor at the Politecnico di Torino. He has been Visiting Professor at the University of California, Berkeley (2014-2016). He obtained his M.S. (2005) and Ph.D. (2008) from the University at Buffalo (SUNY) in USA. Graduated cum laude in Civil Engineering, University of Rome La Sapienza, 2001. He is the Chair of the SHMII Committee on Resilient Structures and Infrastructure (CORSI) of the International Society for structural Health Monitoring of Intelligent Infrastructures. He is also SHMII Council member of the Governing body of the International Society for structural Health Monitoring of Intelligent Infrastructures and General Secretary of ASSISI, Anti-Seismic Systems International Society. Dr. Cimellaro current research interests address community disaster resilience and seismic risk mitigation of civil infrastructures and strategic buildings, monitoring and structural control of building vibrations, probabilistic methods and earthquake engineering. Gian Paolo Cimellaro has been awarded a grant of 1.3 M € by the European Research Council for the research project "IDEAL RESCUE - ERC-2014-StG (2015-2019). This is the most prestigious prize assigned in Europe to researchers, performing high-risk and high-gain ground-breaking research. He has been awarded a grant of 150000 € by the European Research Council for the project IDEAL SENSOR - ERC-2016-PoC (2017-2018) and recently the 2nd project IDEAL DRONE - ERC-2019-PoC (2019-2021). In 2011, he has received the Fib Achievement Award for Young Engineers sponsored by fib - the international federation for structural concrete. In 2015, he has received the Seed Grant Award from the Siebel Energy Institute of UC Berkeley. Best Presentation Award (2017) at the Structural Health monitoring of Intelligent Infrastructure Conference 2017 (SHMII-8), Brisbane, Australia. Further details can be found in www.cimellaro.org.
