His main research interest are in the following fields:
• monitoring and control of historical buildings;
• mechanical characterization of traditional building materials (bricks, lime mortars, stone and brick masonry)
• vulnerability and seismic risk evaluation of existing masonry buildings;
• long-term behavior of masonry under high sustained loads, e.g. masonry towers;
• analysis of the mechanical behavior of complex masonry structures, as vaults and domes, by distinct and finite elements methods.
