Over the past year, I had the privilege of working with outstanding colleagues, researchers, and students on a series of studies addressing some of the most pressing challenges in civil and structural engineering. Our work focuses on sustainability, structural resilience, and innovation, with the shared goal of improving the safety, durability, and environmental performance of the built environment.

The published research spans a wide range of topics, including recycled and bio-based materials, structural and thermal retrofitting, fire and blast resistance, and advanced modelling of complex structural systems. Together, these contributions aim to support the transition toward more resilient and sustainable infrastructures.

I am deeply grateful to all collaborators for their commitment, scientific rigor, and teamwork. Research is always a collective journey, and these results are the outcome of shared vision and trust.
