Overview
I'm Dr. Elisa Bertolesi, a Senior Lecturer in Civil Engineering at Cardiff University. With a Ph.D. from Politecnico di Milano (Italy), my research extends beyond theoretical frameworks, with practical applications contributing to the identification of collapse risks due to fatigue and assessing the robustness of structures. My research, recognized internationally with awards such as the Postgraduate Project Prize from the International Masonry Society, focuses on ensuring the safety and resilience of critical infrastructures. I have developed SHM systems, identifying risks of collapse and assessing structural robustness. My dedication extends to collaborative projects, including the EU-funded SCOURSHAKE project, addressing multi-hazard challenges posed by climate change. I have published over 36 papers in high-impact journals and I'm actively engaged in teaching, administrative roles, and promoting diversity and inclusion in academia. I serve as a Fellow of the Higher Education Academy and a member of the Institution of Civil Engineers. |

Biography
Dr. Elisa Bertolesi is currently a Senior Lecturer in Civil Engineering at Cardiff University, where she leads a dynamic research group with a strong emphasis on doctoral research. She earned her PhD with Honours in Architecture, Built Environment & Construction Engineering from the Politecnico di Milano (Italy). Dr. Bertolesi's research focus lies in the development of Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) strategies, particularly utilizing fiber-optic technologies for the real-time monitoring of riveted steel railway bridges. Her work has contributed to identifying potential risks of collapse due to fatigue from increased traffic volumes and assessing the robustness of these structures in the face of progressive damage. Her achievements include international recognition for her PhD thesis, which received the Postgraduate Project Prize from the International Masonry Society in London, UK. Dr. Bertolesi has collaborated with various universities in the UK and overseas, as well as companies, resulting in numerous publications in international journals. With over 36 published papers in peer-reviewed scientific journals, Dr. Bertolesi's academic profile reflects a high degree of international activity. She is a Fellow of the Higher Education Academy (FHEA) in the UK and a member of the Institution of Civil Engineers (UK), CEng, MICE. Dr. Bertolesi serves as a peer reviewer for 17 high-impact factor journals and is a member of editorial boards for prominent journals in her field. Beyond her academic pursuits, Dr. Bertolesi is actively engaged in scientific divulgation, participating in seminars and events globally. Her recent selection to participate in the Go Global Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in Action Student Challenge at York University (Canada) demonstrates her commitment to global collaboration and addressing challenges through a multidisciplinary lens.
