Dr. Massimo Latour is an associate professor at the University of Salerno (Italy) since 2022. After the Master he won the selection for a Doctorate grant in Structural Engineering at University of Salerno where he got the PhD in 2011 with a thesis entitled “Theoretical and Experimental Analysis of Dissipative Beam-to-Column Joints in Moment Resisting Steel Frames”. In the same year, he became a post-doctoral fellow at Salerno where he is currently working. He is heavily involved in experimental and theoretical research. His contribution to the scientific community is demonstrated by the works published in peer-reviewed journals and in national and international conferences. His research activity mainly deals with seismic design and finite element modelling of steel structures and the development of strategies for supplemental damping to be applied in seismic zone.
From June 2023, Dr. Latour will be invited to NITech for Joint Research on a study on behavior of tubular structures with passing-through beams, hosted by Prof. Atsushi Sato.
