I am a PhD student in Civil Engineering at Roma Tre University, Italy where I received my bachelor’s and master’s degrees. Before starting my PhD, I spent more than three years in London working in the structural design team of the engineering firm Pell Frischmann where, as project engineer, I followed the design and construction of the Blavatnik School of Government of the Oxford University. My research is focus on shell structures and I have been working on a new method to assess the funicularity of form found shapes. In January 2018 I joined the Form Finding Lab as a VSRC for a semester to continue to investigate the influence of the shape on the behavior of shells, focusing on their dynamic performance and design in seismic areas.
