Summary
Dr Lorenzo Macorini is a Reader in Structural Engineering at Imperial College London, where he is involved in teaching at both undergraduate and postgraduate levels. He gained a Ph.D. in Structural Engineering at the University of Trieste (Italy) in 2003 and then moved to Imperial as a Marie Curie Intra-European Research Fellow to conduct research within the Computational Structural Mechanics group with a particular focus on masonry structures. Since his appointment as Lecturer in 2010, he has been involved and led projects funded by research councils and industry. The main findings are presented in about 150 scientific papers, published in leading international journals and conference proceedings. He has also worked as a consultant for public organisations and industry supporting complex design and assessment of existing structures.
