Dr Alessandro Tombari

Dr. Alessandro Tombari is a Senior Lecturer in Digital Design in Civil Engineering (E&R), specializing in geotechnical earthquake engineering and computational structural mechanics. His research focuses on seismic soil-structure interaction (SSI) and Structure-Soil-Structure Interaction (SSSI).

Additionally, Dr. Tombari explores the application of Virtual Reality and Virtual Construction Design in civil engineering, developing software and tools tailored for industry use. He is available for consultancy in code implementation, computational modelling (FEM), and SSI analysis.

Supervisory Interests

• Research areas where applications are welcomed included:
• dynamic simulation and design of wind turbines
• seismic soil-structure interaction
• nonlinear modelling of cyclic soil degradation
• ground motion modelling in urban areas
• reliability analysis and statistics in geotechnical earthquake engineering

An ideal candidate would be a highly motivated university student, who graduated or is graduating in civil engineering or similar, with strong analytical, computational and numerical skills.
