Daniele Malomo

Daniele Malomo is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Civil Engineering at McGill University. His research focuses on Structural Engineering, with an emphasis on old structures and materials, climate change-adapted design, numerical and experimental simulations, and earthquake engineering. He leads research on sustainability-related construction repair, retrofit, and reuse projects and is an expert member of the International Scientific Committee on the Analysis and Restoration of Structures of Architectural Heritage (ISCARSAH). His work involves mechanical and durability characterization of old masonry, concrete, steel, and timber for prominent buildings in Eastern Canada. Malomo is also involved in various editorial roles for engineering journals.

Daniele Malomo is a researcher at McGill University specializing in the analysis and modeling of existing buildings, particularly masonry structures. His work focuses on the application of numerical methods such as the Applied Element Method and the Distinct Element Method to assess the structural behavior and seismic performance of masonry buildings. Malomo's research includes the collapse analysis of historical and modern masonry structures, with a particular emphasis on the dynamic response and in-plane/out-of-plane interaction of unreinforced masonry (URM) systems. His studies often involve shake-table testing and blind prediction exercises to validate numerical models against real-world seismic events.
