Davide Bernardini is Associate Professor at the Department of Structural and Geotechnical Engineering of the University of Rome Sapienza, Italy, where he earned his M. Sc. in Civil Engineering cum laude in 1995 and his Ph.D. in Structural Engineering, in 1999.

Since 2001 teaches structural classes at the Faculty of Architecture of the University of Rome Sapienza. He is author of more than 70 scientific publications in international journals, peer-reviewed book chapters and proceedings of international conferences, as well as of 2 didactic books on structural mechanics.

His main research activities have been in the fields of thermomechanics of materials, structural health monitoring and modeling of bridges and of nonlinear dynamics, with special attention to Shape Memory Materials and their applications to the reduction of structiral vibrations. Further research interests include: the micromechanical derivation of macroscopic constitutive equations, structural health monitoring, the application of Shape Memory Materials to vibration reduction, the mathematical modeling of hysteresis, the applications of category theory to the mathematical foundations of continuum mechanics.

Over the years he collaborates with several international institutions (Michigan State University, State University of New York at Buffalo, Catholic University of Leuven, Belgio, Technical University of Athens, Grecia, Technical University of Lublin, Polonia, Federal University of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil).
