David Ruggiero is an Assistant Professor of Structural Design and Engineering at EPFL, specializing in structural engineering with a focus on reinforced concrete, sustainability, and tall buildings. His research explores the behavior of reinforced concrete under cyclic loading, numerical modeling of base isolators, and the sustainability of structural systems. He investigates methods to enhance the efficiency and performance of concrete structures, including topology optimization and carbon efficiency in design. His work also addresses the seismic response of structures and the development of new testing methodologies for reinforced concrete. Ruggiero's research contributes to advancing sustainable and resilient structural design practices.
