Elisa Bassoli is an Associate Professor of Structural Analysis and Design at the "Enzo Ferrari" Department of Engineering of the University of Modena and Reggio Emilia (UniMORE), where she earned her Master's degree in Civil Engineering in 2012 and her Ph.D. in 2016, subsequently continuing her academic research and teaching career.
Her scientific activity focuses on structural health monitoring, dynamic identification, numerical model calibration, as well as the study of pedestrian-induced vibrations on footbridges.
In line with the strategic priority of preserving Italian infrastructure assets, her research addresses the development of non-invasive, highly scalable structural monitoring solutions. By combining traditional sensing with contactless methodologies, such as satellite and terrestrial radar and computer vision techniques, her studies yield low-impact monitoring solutions ideal for widespread application across large networks of structures, enabling continuous, large-scale assessment of their structural health over time.
At Unimore, she teaches "Structural Engineering" for the Bachelor's Degree in Civil and Environmental Engineering and contributes to the courses "Existing Structures" and "Structural Health Monitoring Laboratory" for the Master's Degree in Civil and Environmental Engineering.
