Roberto Nascimbene (born 1974) is Full Professor of Structural Engineering at IUSS Pavia. He obtained his MSc degree in Civil Engineering (Structural Engineering) in 1999 from the University of Pavia (Department of Structural Mechanics) and subsequently earned a PhD (XV Cycle) at the same institution. He served as Head Coordinator at EUCENTRE, first of the Structural Analysis Department and later of the Construction and Infrastructure Department, until February 2021. From 2005, he actually is Adjunct Professor at the Faculty of Engineering of the University of Pavia (DICAr – Department of Civil Engineering and Architecture), teaching the courses "Shell Structures and Tanks" and "Theory and Design of Steel Structures" (2005-2020). He is the author or co-author of more than 200 scientific publications in indexed international journals, national journals, and conference proceedings, and co-author of five books: the first on shell structures in italian (tanks), the second on existing precast buildings, the third on temporary housing, the fourth on the seismic vulnerability of existing buildings, and the most recent published by Wiley on the seismic analysis of tanks and silos. He is a National Committee Member of UNI/CT 021/SC 03 Steel Structures and a National Observer in UNI/CT 021/GL 06 Robustness. He has been a member of the Project Team SC8.T5 for the evolution of EN 1998-4 and EN 1998-6 (Mandate M/515, Phases 3–4), of the CNR DT Working Group on Safety of Non-Structural Components, and of the Council of the Order of Engineers of Pavia for two terms, one of which as Secretary. He is a member of the Regional Seismic Commission of Lombardy and of CEN/TC 250/SC 8, dedicated to Eurocode 8. For over ten years, he coordinated professional continuing education activities at EUCENTRE, organizing nearly one hundred training courses, and also served as Director of the EUCENTRE Library. His research and professional activities focus on the seismic vulnerability of industrial facilities and buildings made of reinforced concrete, steel, timber, and especially precast systems. He has carried out and continues to carry out extensive consultancy, research, and assessment activities on tanks, silos, and containment structures in general, as well as on robustness, progressive collapse under exceptional actions, and advanced nonlinear numerical modeling and analysis, both in Italy and internationally.
