With a strong interest in railway engineering, he has also expanded his research in this sector. Author of over 15 indexed scientific publications, he has gained both national and international research and teaching experience.

Civil Engineer and fixed-term Researcher (Type B) at the ICEA Department, University of Padua since 2022, where he teaches the course “Roads, Railways, and Airports” for the Civil Engineering degree. He obtained his PhD at the Polytechnic University of Marche in 2015. He is the author of about 90 publications and a member of professional associations, including the Italian Road Infrastructures Society (SIIV) and the Italian Railway Engineers Association.

Associate Professor of Roads, Railways, and Airports at the Mediterranean University of Reggio Calabria, where she teaches “Airport and Heliport Infrastructure” and “Railway Infrastructure.” Her research focuses on innovative topics in road and railway engineering, with numerous publications in high-impact international journals and conference proceedings.

Civil Engineer, certified BIM Specialist for infrastructure, and co-founder of the academic spin-off VIASTRATA srl for the development of methods and tools for digital information management (infraBIM). He graduated with honors as Doctor Europaeus in Civil Engineering Systems with a dissertation on BIM for hydraulic and transport infrastructure, procedural modeling automation processes, and visual programming languages. He is currently a research fellow at the University of Naples Federico II.

PhD student in Engineering and Architecture at University of Parma, focusing on the characterization and monitoring of railway superstructures. He obtained his degree in Civil and Building Engineering in Palermo in 2018 and his Master’s degree in Civil Engineering in Parma in 2021. His research involves advanced testing on bituminous materials and wayside monitoring systems.

Associate Professor at the DICEAM Department of the Mediterranean University of Reggio Calabria. He is the author of over 130 publications in international journals and conference proceedings. His research focuses on road and railway engineering. He served as Deputy Director (2012–2018) and Director (2018–2024) of the DICEAM Department at the Mediterranean University of Reggio Calabria, where he is currently Coordinator of the University Quality Assurance Unit (2024–2027).

Full Professor at the Department of Civil, Building, and Environmental Engineering (DICEA), Sapienza University of Rome. His research mainly addresses infrastructure safety, risk assessment, characterization of the behavior of complex structural materials and systems, monitoring of the functional efficiency of superstructures through innovative techniques, and related maintenance management.

He earned his degree in Civil Engineering and his PhD in Structures and Infrastructure at the Polytechnic University of Marche. Since 2021, he has been Associate Professor of Roads, Railways, and Airports at the ICEA Department, University of Padua. An expert in road pavement materials, he is the author of over 100 scientific publications in national and international journals and conferences and the recipient of three research awards.

Associate Professor of Roads, Railways, and Airports at the Department of Engineering and Architecture, University of Trieste. He is a member and SIIV Representative for the Trieste branch and is a licensed Professional Engineer (Section A). His research focuses on road infrastructure, with particular attention to geometry in relation to safety, surface characteristics of pavements, and the use of non-traditional materials in superstructures.

PRIN Research Fellow at the Department of Engineering, University of Palermo. Member and SIIV Representative for the Udine branch, he obtained his PhD in Civil-Environmental Engineering (interuniversity Udine–Trieste) and is a licensed Professional Engineer (Section A). His scientific activity focuses on road infrastructure, with particular attention to sustainability and the development of machine learning algorithms for material characterization and monitoring.

Civil Engineer, PhD in Transport Engineering, and Associate Professor at the Department of Civil, Chemical, Environmental, and Materials Engineering, University of Bologna. Her research focuses on road infrastructure, and she is the author of numerous publications in international scientific journals. Her main research interests include the analysis—through innovative technologies—of road–vehicle–driver interaction for road safety purposes
