Giada BARTOLINI is a Postdoctoral Fellow at the Department of Civil and Industrial Engineering at the University of Pisa, Italy. She earned her M.Sc. in Architecture and Building Engineering in 2019, and completed her Ph.D. in Construction Engineering in 2024 at the same institution. Her doctoral thesis, titled "Modeling Strategies for Monumental Structures Considering History-Related Phenomena and Material Uncertainty," reflects her research focus on finite element (FE) modeling of historic constructions, utilizing non-destructive techniques and advanced structural modeling methods to assess the integrity of heritage monuments. In the summer of 2024, Dr. Bartolini received the prestigious Galileo Galilei International Prize, in recognition of her outstanding contributions to engineering research.

Anna DE FALCO is associate professor of Construction Techniques at the Department of Civil and Industrial Engineering of the University of Pisa. She obtained her master’s degree in civil engineering in 1996 from the University of Pisa, and earned her Ph.D. degree in 2000 from the University of Florence. For many years, she has been responsible for the course on Consolidation of Constructions in the master’s degree program in Structural and Construction Engineering. Her primary research interests include the evaluation of vulnerability and seismic risk in existing building contexts, particularly historical buildings, as well as the consolidation of existing building heritage, including infrastructure. Most of her research activity revolves around these areas, conducted through research projects and as a scientific coordinator of contracts, as well as supervision of PhD theses.

Lorenzo GIANFRANCESCHI is a PhD student in the Structural and Infrastructure Analysis and Control program at the Department of Civil and Industrial Engineering, University of Pisa. He obtained his master’s degree from the University of Pisa in 2023, defending a thesis on the application of HBIM methodology for developing of digital tools to support the structural diagnosis of cultural heritage assets. Currently, his research project concerns the integration of satellite data and information from terrestrial monitoring for the assessment of the risk induced from climate change on built structures, focusing on cultural heritage assets. During the last year, he has been involving in various activities in the fields of remote sensing and structural monitoring.

Massimiliano MARTINO obtained his Master’s degree in Architecture from the University of Florence in 2003. He is a freelance professional, project architect, and designer, providing consultancy services in computer graphics development for architectural visualization and design simulation. His recent focus has been on Building Information Modeling (BIM) and Computer Graphics, particularly on architectural simulation and visualization as a support strategy for design. In this regard, he serves as a BIM manager for consultancy firms in Italy and abroad. Since 2006, he has been a contracted lecturer at the School of Engineering, currently teaching “Computer Laboratory Supporting the Design of Building and Urban Systems" and "Computer Laboratory Supporting Parametric Modeling." He frequently serves as a thesis advisor for Master's degree students. Since 2019, he has been an adjunct Professor for the courses Parametric Design Laboratory, BIM, HBIM, and Photoscan for Buildings, and Parametric Workshop and Light Design at the Ecole Nationale d'Architecture de Marrakech (E.N.A.M.) in Morocco.

Laura VIGNALI is a PhD student in the Structural and Infrastructure Analysis and Control program at the Department of Civil and Industrial Engineering, University of Pisa. She earned her M.Sc. in Structural Engineering from the same university in 2022. Her master’s thesis focused on the "Multi-method Back-analysis of Damaged Masonry Buildings Following the 2009 L’Aquila Earthquake in Italy: The Historic Centre of Castelnuovo (AQ)." Laura's current research centers on the analysis and conservation of cultural heritage. She is particularly interested in integrating different monitoring systems to achieve a comprehensive understanding of the structural health of historic monuments, including satellite-based monitoring techniques and dynamic structural health monitoring (SHM). In addition, Laura has also supported teaching for the course "Consolidation of Structures."
