Biography
Dr Andrea Franza is Assistant Professor of Geotechnical Engineering. His research bridges geotechnical and structural engineering. For this, he employs analytical and numerical modelling along with reduced-scale physical testing and field monitoring. He holds a PhD in Civil Engineering from the University of Nottingham (UK) and had postdoctoral experience at the Centre for Smart Infrastructure and Construction at the University of Cambridge and the Universidad Politécnica de Madrid. Currently, he is currently Associate Editor for the journal Tunnelling and Underground Space Technology. He represents the Danish Geotechnical Society as a nominated member of ISSMGE Technical Committees TC204 (Underground Construction) and TC308 (Energy Geotechnics).
