Dr. Campidelli’s research expertise encompass reliability analysis, fragility, and probabilistic risk assessment of infrastructure subjected to extreme loading; numerical and experimental performance quantification of different structural and nonstructural components; risk mitigation technologies; risk analysis of complex systems; and multi-agent-based modeling.

Past Research Project
Applications of genetic algorithms to optimization problems in structural dynamics. Filed testing and numerical analysis of structural and non-structural components under live ammunition; Development of load factors for blast resistant design; Assessment of blast wavefront parameter uncertainty; Stochastic modeling of the structural response induced by blast overpressure; and Software development for performance assessment of window glazing under blast overpressure.
