Francesco dell’Isola is a Full Professor at the Department of Civil Engineering (DICEAA), University of L’Aquila (Italy) since 2016. Since 2015, he is the Responsible Italian Scientific Expert at the Laboratoire International Associé (LIA) Coss&Vita, a French-Italian international laboratory. Since 2016, he is also Director of the International Research Center M&MoCS (University of L’Aquila). His research activities chiefly focus on the synthesis and design of metamaterials, and on generalized models in continuum mechanics. Emilio Barchiesi is an Assistant Professor of Strength of materials at the University of Sassari, Italy. He is mainly interested in the synthesis of micro-structured materials on demand through an approach integrating asymptotic homogenization techniques, three-dimensional printing and experimental digital image correlation techniques. He has done research as a postdoctoral fellow at the International Research Center for the Mathematics and Mechanics of Complex Systems of the University of L'Aquila and at the Institut de Recherche Dupuy de Lôme, École Nationale d'Ingénieurs de Brest. He has been Marie Sklodowska-Curie fellow at the Université Bretagne Sud. Francisco James León Trujillo is a Research Professor at the Department of Civil Engineering and the Institute of Scientific Research (IDIC) of the University of Lima (Peru) since 2018. Since 2021, he is the coordinator of the Research Group in Numerical and Computational Methods, Computer Graphics and Scientific Computing at IDIC. His research activities are mainly focused on the application of geomatics to engineering and the environment, and on the study of generalized models in masonry.
