Graduate in Structural Engineering (1978), Research Engineer at the University of Rome "La Sapienza" group H07A-Strength of Materials (1983-1991), associate professor group H07A-Strength of Materials (1991-2000), full professor group ICAR/08- Strength of Materials (2000-…).

Member of the Doctoral Committee in "Theoretical and Applied Mechanics" of the University of Rome "La Sapienza" (2000-…).
Former editor of the polish journal Engineering Transactions.
Former technical supervisor of the Section "Eudossiana" of the Department (2201-2007).

Teaching subjects: Dynamics of Structures (1982-'83, University of Aquila degli Abruzzi), Strength of Materials for Elettronics Engineering (1990-'95, 1999-'00), Aerospace Engineering (1994-…), Clinics Engineering (2001-…), Electric Engineering (1993-'00), Materials Engineering of the materials and Transportation School of the Italian Army (1993-'98), Strength of Biomaterials for Biomedical Engineering (2004-...).

Fields of scientific interest: Mechanics of Solids and Structures. Recent topics:
- free and forced response of discrete and continuous mechanical systems characterized by impact and friction (numerical simulation and experimental test);
- crack identification in a bi-dimensional continuous (beam-like) medium (numerical simulation and experimental test);
- structural analysis of prosthesized human joints;
- functional adaptation of bone tissue as an optimal control problem;
- interaction between bone tissue and bioresorbable material as components of a porous mixture;
- nonlinear dynamic analysis of the atomic force microscopy;
- identification of damage in metal beams by non-linear vibratory methods;
- identification of damage in metal beams by means of static analysis and image processing methods.
- Functional adaptation of bone tissue under mechanical stimulation in coupling with bioabsorbable materials.
- Non-regular non-linear dynamics of systems with several degrees of freedom impacting on deformable and dissipative bumpers.
