Summary
Giulio Zani is an Assistant Professor of Structural Engineering at Politecnico di Milano with nine years of postdoctoral experience focused on assessment, monitoring and maintenance of existing bridges and innovative cementitious materials. He teaches structural design and safety to architecture and civil engineering students while leading experimental and numerical research on SFRC, UHPFRC, TRC and FRCM for retrofitting and new construction. His work spans full-scale testing, conservation of modern concrete heritage, and practical collaborations with industry and regional projects on sustainable cement-based components. A summa cum laude PhD and MSc graduate, he combines rigorous academic scholarship with hands-on structural experimentation and co-advising of numerous MSc theses. Notably, his research mixes advanced material characterization with bridge engineering applications, bridging laboratory innovation and field-relevant rehabilitation strategies. Based in Lombardy, he brings deep technical expertise in textile-reinforced systems and composite retrofitting techniques to both teaching and applied research.
