Two case studies exemplify this potential: the first examines polysilicon films commonly used in microelectromechanical systems\, employing Convolutional Neural Networks to develop surrogate models that reliably link microstructural characteristics to macroscopic elastic properties. The second explores an inverse design framework for composite materials using Deep Convolutional Generative Adversarial Networks\, enabling accelerated material discovery and optimization. These studies demonstrate how deep learning enhances material property prediction and design\, emphasizing the interplay between data availability and model generalization. \nSpeaker’s bio \nJosé Pablo completed his Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering at Universidad de Costa Rica\, where he earned a scholarship to pursue postgraduate studies at Politecnico di Milano\, Italy. In July 2020\, he graduated with a Master’s degree in Materials Engineering and Nanotechnology. Shortly after\, in November 2020\, he began his Ph.D. studies in the Structural Seismic and Geotechnical Engineering program.\nHis research focuses on applying deep learning (DL) strategies to tackle challenges in the modeling and design of microstructurally heterogeneous materials\, such as polycrystalline solids and composites. By utilizing advanced architectures like Convolutional Neural Networks and Generative Adversarial Networks\, his work aims to accelerate material discovery\, optimize structural responses\, and predict effective properties across multiple scales. Additionally\, his research investigates the generalization capabilities of data-driven models in complex systems\, with a particular emphasis on exploring the potential of DL to effectively address out-of-distribution scenarios\nJosé Pablo’s Ph.D. studies are funded by Universidad de Costa Rica as part of a program dedicated to enhancing the academic qualifications of its teaching staff. After completing his Ph.D.\, he will return to Costa Rica as a full-time professor in the Mechanical Engineering Department\, where he plans to contribute to academic excellence and foster research in computational materials science. \nIn his free time\, José Pablo enjoys hiking\, exploring nature\, and reading.

SUMMARY:Auxeticity\, hierarchy and imperfections in mechanics of living matter
DESCRIPTION:Venerdì 14 Febbraio si terrà un seminario presso l’aula Grandori (Edificio 4) dalle ore 11:30 dal titolo “Auxeticity\,hierarchy and imperfections in mechanics of living matter “. \nIl seminario sarà tenuto dal Prof. Massimiliano Fraldi\, professor of Mechanics of Structures\, Nonlinear Mechanics and Biomechanics at the University of Napoli Federico II\, Italy. \nAbstract: \nMechanics of continua and structures is playing an indispensable role for deeply understanding how growth\, remodeling and morphogenesis in living matter do all interact with internal stresses and uid ow at the macro-scale to optimize selected tissues and organs functions. This coupling is often crucial to unveil complex underlying mechanisms originating from cascades of events occurring at lower scales. Cell-cell competitive dynamics incorporating chemomechanical feedback can be for instance projected at the continuum level and helpfully coupled with elasticity and mass balance equations in order to obtain faithful outcomes about growth and to predict cells fate as well. Through some selected paradigmatic examples of biological systems\, we show how auxeticity\, elastic instability\, microstructure hierarchy and even geometrical imperfections may all contribute to shed light on still unclear mechanobiological phenomena\, including tissue differentiation\, regeneration\, wound healing and cancer diseases. We also highlight the reciprocal benets of integrating mechanics and biology for envisioning new therapeutic strategies for precise medicine and designing new classes of bio-inspired\, self-repairing “active” composites. This is a joint work with contributions by A.R. Carotenuto\, A. Cutolo\, S.Palumbo\, and N.M. Pugno. \nSpeaker’s bio: \nMASSIMILIANO FRALDI (magna cum laude and PhD in Structural Engineering at University of Napoli Federico II\, post-doc and visiting researcher at Department of Mathematics\, Rutgers University\, and Department of Mechanical and Biomedical Engineering at City College of New York\, USA) is full professor of Mechanics of Structures\, Nonlinear Mechanics and Biomechanics at the University of Napoli Federico II\, Italy\, where he is head of the Interdisciplinary Research Centre for Structural Composites (SCIC) and the Laboratory of Integrated Mechanics and Imaging for Testing and Simulation of bio-systems (LIMITS)\, delegate of the Rector for the Infrastructure for Research in Oncology\, member of the Task Force on Quantitative and Computational Biology and the Doctoral College of Structural and Geotechnical Engineering and Seismic Risk at the Department of Structures for Engineering and Architecture (DIST).

SUMMARY:PhDTalks | Simulating the effect of Nature-based Solutions as a mitigation tool for Urban Heat Islands
DESCRIPTION:Il prossimo appuntamento con la serie di incontri PhDTalks si terrà Martedì 18 febbraio nell’aula Fassò (Edificio 4A)\, dalle 17:15 alle 18:30 CET. \nPhDTalks è una serie di seminari e discussioni tra dottorandi. Gli eventi hanno lo scopo di fornire un luogo dove creare un network tra dottorandi ed entrare in contatto con i molti progetti sviluppati nel nostro dipartimento. \nLo speaker Angelly de Jesus Pugliese Viloria condurrà un seminario dal titolo “Simulating the effect of Nature-based Solutions as a mitigation tool for Urban Heat Islands”.  \nAl termine dell’evento sarà disponibile un piccolo rinfresco finanziato dal dipartimento. \nSarà possibile seguire la conferenza anche online al seguente link. \nAbstract \nMore than 3.3 billion people live in areas highly vulnerable to climate change\, facing threats to health\, infrastructure\, and economic stability. This research focuses on modeling and mapping the susceptibility towards climate change-related hazards using machine learning\, with a particular emphasis on the Urban Heat Island (UHI) effect—an issue prevalent in densely built environments with limited vegetation.Using satellite and authoritative data\, including Landsat 8-derived land surface temperature and land cover information\, surface UHI was modeled in Milan. To explore mitigation strategies\, the study assesses the impact of Nature-Based Solutions (NbS)\, which have been shown to reduce both the frequency and intensity of UHIs. By simulating the strategic addition of vegetation\, the analysis re-evaluates UHI patterns to quantify the potential benefits of NbS in urban environments. \nSpeaker’s bio \nAngelly is a computer scientist from Universidad del Norte (Colombia) and a Geoinformatics Engineer from Politecnico di Milano (Italy). Her projects consisted of the development of a QGIS plugin for location privacy and the application of deep learning to classify deforestation leveraging open satellite imagery\, respectively. She is currently pursuing a PhD in Environmental Engineering focused on Geomatics. Her current research regards the application of artificial intelligence to produce the susceptibility models and maps of climate change related hazards in urban areas. Furthermore\, the models can be used to evaluate the impact on the susceptibility introduced by simulated nature based solutions.\nDuring her PhD studies\, she has been a consultant for the World Bank\, specifically developing geospatial applications currently focused on GeoAI as a service. \n\nIn her free time\, she enjoys doing exercise\, dancing\, connecting with nature\, and reading a good book\, mostly from Colombian authors.
