Simona Bianchi
Simona Bianchi, Ph.D., P.E., is a Postdoctoral Researcher and Lecturer within the Structural Design & Mechanics Group at the Faculty of Architecture, Delft University of Technology. Her research primarily concerns probabilistic risk assessment and resilience design, with a specific focus on earthquake-proof and environmentally sustainable building technologies. She has been awarded a prestigious EU-funded Marie Skłodowska-Curie fellowship to work on performance assessment and multi-criteria decision-making of building facades. Currently, she serves as the Technical Lead for the €7.5M Horizon Europe MULTICARE project, aiming to develop low-carbon resilient solutions and digital tools for assessing, designing, and managing multi-hazard resilience.
