M. (Michele) Longo, MSc

Profile

Michele Longo (born in 1990) studied Civil Engineering at the University of Parma (Italy). He finished his MSc thesis at TU Delft in 2016. From January 2017 onwards, he is working on the sensitivity study of unreinforced masonry structures for both serviceability and ultimate limit state.

Research

I am focusing on computational modelling of masonry structures which include predictions, calibrations and validations of numerical models.
During my research I have investigated propagation of vibrations through the soil and their influence to the structures.
Other research interests are: soil-structure interaction, Python scripting for computational science and developing of material models.
