Leandro Iannacone, PhD
Assistant Professor at Lund University

I conduct interdisciplinary research that combines
knowledge in structural engineering, hazard science, and statistics to inform disaster risk management with a focus
on quantifying community-level resilience and adequately communicating risk to the stakeholders.
I am currently an Assistant Professor at the Division of Structural Engineering at Lund University. I was formerly a postdoctoral researcher in the DE|RISC Lab at University College London. I earned my PhD at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign (2022) in the MAE Center (Multi-hazard Approaches to Engineering) under the supervision of Prof. Paolo Gardoni. have degrees in Statistics from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign (M.S. 2019), in Structural Engineering from the University of Pisa (M.S. 2016), and in Civil and Environmental Engineering from the University of Pisa (B.S. 2012). My research work focuses on deterioration modeling, multihazard analysis, value of information analysis, vulnerability and fragility modeling, and resilience quantification, among other topics. In a broader sense, I am enthusiastic towards implementing sophisticated statistical techniques to gather, analyse, and update data pertaining to civil infrastructure systems. |
