2018 - 2021 | Teaching Assistant
Seismic Risk Assessment (CEGE0033), MSc in Earthquake Engineering with Disaster Management
I designed and delivered lectures and tutorials in structural vulnerability assessment.
I helped organising and delivering a week-long field trip to Central Italy, struck by major earthquakes in 2016. The fieldwork showed students the extent of earthquake destruction and the latest structural restoration and strengthening techniques.
