Fabio Rizzo

Fabio Rizzo, PhD in Structural Engineering and Assistant Professor (R.T.D.B.) in Structural Engineering at the Polytechnic University of Bari, Italy, Department of Architecture, Construction and Design. In 2022, I held the position of Assistant Professor at Cracow University of Technology, Chair of Bridge, Metal and Timber Structures/L-3, Cracow, Poland, and from 2018 to 2021, the position of Researcher (i.e. RTDA) at the Department of Engineering, University G. D’Annunzio, Chieti-Pescara, Italy. In 2021, I occupied the position of researcher at the Wind laboratory of the Cracow University of Technology thanks to the scholarship funded by the NAWA (Polish National Agency for Academic Exchange). I worked as a visiting researcher at the Northeastern University in Boston (U.S.A.), at the Louisiana State University in Baton Rouge, (U.S.A.), at the Columbia University in New York City (U.S.A.) and at the West Ontario University, London Ontario, Canada. From September 2022, I am teaching Structural Design and Structural Morphology at the Polytechnic University of Bari, Italy, Department of Architecture, Construction and Design. In 2021 I taught Basics in structural engineering, Timber structures and machine design at Cracow University of Technology Cracow, Poland, and from 2014 to 2021 Structural Engineering at University G. D’Annunzio, Chieti-Pescara, Italy. I am member of ANIV (The Italian Association for Wind Engineering), IAWE (the International Association of Wind Engineering) and of the CRIACIV (Interuniversity Research Center of Construction Aerodynamics and Wind Engineering). I took part of four national research projects PRIN (Research Projects of National Relevance) projects and two international research projects, (i.e. SERA, Seismology and Earthquake Engineering Research Infrastructure Alliance, and one Horizon 2020). In 2018, I was involved in the writing of the CNR n.207-DT documentation in which my original data has been incorporated.
