🔹 🔹
Formata al DICAM di UniTrento, Katia Bertoldi ha avuto come mentore il Prof. Davide Bigoni, portando l’eccellenza del suo gruppo fino a Harvard.

📚 Dopo la laurea e il dottorato qui a Trento (PhD 2006), oggi è William & Ami Kuan Danoff Professor of Applied Mechanics all'Harvard SEAS 🧠

🌐 Il suo laboratorio esplora metamateriali, soft‑robot e strutture intelligenti che strizzano l’occhio all’ingegneria del futuro.

🎙 E la parte migliore? Il 25 giugno, Katia torna a Trento per un seminario da non perdere: “Programming and Reprogramming the Nonlinear Response of Structures” — un’occasione unica per incontrare una scienziata illuminata, cresciuta tra i banchi del DICAM e affermatasi nel mondo

👉 Se studi ingegneria, architettura, fisica o sei semplicemente curioso… ti aspettiamo a Mesiano, aula 2R, ore 16.

Congratulations to Diego on winning the 2025 SES Huajian Gao Young Investigator Medal!!

Diego Misseroni vince la “2025 SES Huajian Gao Young Investigator Medal” della Society of Engineering Science!

🥇Il premio è stato assegnato “for his contributions to the fundamental understanding of the mechanical behavior of architected metamaterials and origami structures by innovative experimental realizations leading to new insights and theoretical findings.”

Misseroni è il primo ricercatore non affiliato a un’istituzione statunitense a ricevere il riconoscimento.

La consegna del riconoscimento avverrà durante la “SES Annual Meeting”, che si terrà ad Atlanta, USA, dal 12 al 15 ottobre 2025.
