SUMMARY:Integrated strategies for safe drinking water supply management: linking chemical and microbial stability to human health risks
DESCRIPTION:The next appointment in the PhDTalks seminar series will take place on Tuesday\, May 12th\, 2026\, in Grandori Room (Building 4)\, from 12:00 to 13:00 CET. \nPhDTalks is a series of seminars and discussions among PhD candidates. The events aim to provide a space for networking among doctoral students and for engaging with the many projects developed within our department. \nThe speaker Marco Matracchi will deliver a seminar entitled “Integrated strategies for safe drinking water supply management: linking chemical and microbial stability to human health risks” \nAt the end of the event\, a light refreshment will be offered\, sponsored by the department. \nThe seminar will also be accessible online at the following link. \nAbstract\nSupplying drinking water to consumers requires treatments and distribution through a complex network\, where ensuring chemical and microbial stability is essential to prevent both acute and chronic health hazards. This is particularly relevant as water is increasingly used for irrigating home-grown vegetables within more sustainable lifestyle practices. This PhD research focuses on developing strategies and guidelines to monitor water quality in distribution networks to support safe and effective management\, considering both microbial and chemical hazards. The assessment of potential human health impact is based on the integration of innovative microbial sampling\, chemical fingerprint\, CALUX-derived toxicity data and risk assessment approaches\, enabling the apportionment of contributions from multiple contaminants and exposure pathways. \nSpeaker’s Bio\nMarco is a PhD student in Environmental and Infrastructure Engineering at DICA (39th cycle). He holds an MSc in Environmental and Land Planning Engineering from Politecnico di Milano\, obtained in 2023. His PhD is part of the Horizon Europe project SafeCREW (www.safecrew.org). \nHis research focuses on improving the monitoring of drinking water\, considering both microbiological and chemical parameters. He completed a six-months visiting period at the Ulster University\, in Belfast\, Northern Irland. Moreover\, he also spent three weeks in a drinking water treatment plant in L’Ampolla\, Spain\, managed by the Consorci d’Aigües de Tarragona\, where he performed experimental activities. In his free time\, he enjoys music and doing sport.

SUMMARY:Mathematics for the Eye: Towards Computational Evaluation of Angle-Closure Risk Factors Using an Active-Strain Iris Model
DESCRIPTION:The next appointment in the PhDTalks seminar series will take place on Tuesday\, May 12th\, 2026\, in Grandori Room (Building 4)\, from 12:00 to 13:00 CET. \nPhDTalks is a series of seminars and discussions among PhD candidates. The events aim to provide a space for networking among doctoral students and for engaging with the many projects developed within our department. \nThe speaker Kevin Raul Lucon Rivas will deliver a seminar entitled “Mathematics for the Eye: Towards Computational Evaluation of Angle-Closure Risk Factors Using an Active-Strain Iris Model” \nAt the end of the event\, a light refreshment will be offered\, sponsored by the department. \nThe seminar will also be accessible online at the following link. \nAbstract\nAngle-closure glaucoma\, associated to iris expansion that obstructs aqueous drainage and raise intraocular pressure in the eye\, is a leading cause of irreversible blindness worldwide. We developed a disk-shaped FEM model of the iris\, seen as active-strain fiber-reinforced material\, inclusive of two competitor muscles\, to demonstrate that the tissue architecture controls pupil diameter and iris bulging. The model captures well iris kinematics\, yet the uniform iris thickness limits the modelling of fluid obstruction. We believe that an improved model with variable thickness\, meridional curvature\, and interaction with other tissues\, will describe clinical biomarkers of angle-closure galucoma\, addressing risk assessment. \nSpeaker’s Bio\nI am a Mechanical Engineer graduated from ESPOL\, Ecuador\, with a Master’s in Mathematical Engineering from the Universidad de La Rioja\, Spain\, and a Master’s in Educational Innovation. Before pursuing a PhD\, I worked in education a field I have always been passionate about. I am currently a PhD candidate (39th cycle) at Politecnico di Milano\, under the supervision of Prof. Anna Pandolfi and Prof. Luca Dedè. Originally from Ecuador\, I came to research through a genuine fascination with the mathematics that underlies the physical world and a conviction that rigorous models can have real clinical impact. Outside of research\, I love music \, especially Latin singer-songwriters \, dancing\, reading\, travelling\, and long conversations about philosophy and consciousness. I believe that the best ideas live at the intersection of disciplines\, and I try to carry that spirit into everything I do.

SUMMARY:Mechanics of complex network materials: A formulation based on phase field damage evolution on graphs
DESCRIPTION:On Monday\, May 25\, a seminar titled “Mechanics of complex network materials: A formulation based on phase field damage evolution on graphs” will be held in Grandori Room (Building 4) from 16:30 to 17:30 CET.\nThe seminar will be given by Prof. Marco Paggi\, Scuola IMT Alti Studi Lucca.\n\nAbstract\nA theory for simulating nonlocal damage in 2D lattice structures discretized by Euler-Bernoulli beam finite elements is herein proposed. A phase field approach to damage\, projected onto the discretized nodes via the graph Laplacian matrix\, is formulated to simulate damage evolution by solving a Helmholtz differential equation on the graph. Damage is introduced in the constitutive equations under the assumption of a bilateral damage evolution in tension and in compression\, or a monolateral damage only in tension. Both formulations have been enhanced by a threshold driving force to better capture the onset of damage in polymers due to crazing. The staggered coupling scheme alternates between solving mechanical equilibrium and phase field equations\, and it has been validated in relation to experiments on unnotched beams made of ABS subject to three-point bending. The approach is then applied to preliminary investigate the response of a complex network material in the nonlinear regime\, contributing to understanding how graph-based topologies influence the load-bearing capacity of the material. The method bridges the gap between statistical physics of complex networks and nonlinear mechanics of materials and is expected to have an impact on the design of robust random metamaterials featuring nodes with large connectivities.\n\n\n\nBio-sketch\nMarco Paggi earned the Ph.D. in Structural Engineering in 2005 from Politecnico di Torino\, Italy\, where he served as Assistant Professor of Structural Mechanics (2007-2013). He has been appointed Associate Professor (November 2013-December 2017\, direct appointment as an ERC principal investigator) and Full Professor (since December 2017) of Structural Mechanics at the IMT School for Advanced Studies Lucca\, Italy\, where he is the Founding Director of the Research Unit MUSAM – Multi-Scale Analysis of Materials\, and of the experimental laboratory MUSAM Lab. He is currently Deputy Rector at the IMT School.\nHe spent the year 2010 as an Alexander von Humboldt Fellow in the Institute of Continuum Mechanics of the Leibniz University of Hannover\, Germany\, and he has been appointed visiting professor at Tongji University (Shanghai\, China\, 2025)\, University of Girona (Girona\, Spain\, 2022)\, Indian Institute of Technology Delhi (New Delhi\, India\, 2021)\, Université Paris-EST (Paris\, France\, 2014).
