Michele Godio
Forskare

I am a researcher in the field of structural engineering, specialized in the dynamics of structures. With a background in solid and computational mechanics, I explore since some years the use of AI and computer-vision techniques for the smart, automated assessment of buildings and infrastructure.

Bio
I hold a double master’s degree in Civil and Structural Engineering from Milan’s Politecnico and Paris’ Ponts et Chaussées University, along with an advanced research master’s degree in Mechanics of Materials from Paris’ Ponts et Chaussées, and a PhD in Mechanics of Materials and Structures from the same school. I joined RISE in October 2019, after a 4-year postdoctoral stay at the Earthquake Engineering and Structural Dynamics laboratory of Lausanne's Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale (EPFL, Switzerland).
