Claudio Martani is Assistant Professor at the Purdue School of Construction Management Technology, ICON-affiliated faculty, and Director of the Laboratory for Future-Ready Infrastructure (FuRI Lab). His research focuses on the development of innovative models for (i) assessing the level of infrastructure flexibility, resilience and responsiveness required to manage future uncertainty, and (ii) creating optimal risk-reducing interventions for construction and infrastructure. He is also
Dr. Martani is a former Research Associate at the IBI, D-BAUG of ETH Zürich (2015-2021), and at the Centre for Smart Infrastructure and Construction (CSIC) of the University of Cambridge (2013-2015). He holds a PhD in Technology and Design for the Built Environment (TePAC) from the Politecnico di Milano (2013) - for which he developed a thesis on predictability and management of risk in the construction process - a MSc in Building Management and a BSc in Architecture from the same institution. He is also an alumnus of the Collegio di Milano, a residential interdisciplinary honours programme with a competitive admission process and extracurricular activities.
Whilst completing his PhD, Dr. Martani was appointed MIT-Italy fellow at the Senseable City Laboratory of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT|SCL) and became a visiting researcher at the Virtual Development and Training Centre (VDTC) of the Fraunhofer Institute (IFF).
In the course of his academic career, Dr. Martani has worked in the areas of future-oriented design optimization, risk and resilience analysis, uncertainty modelling and scenario simulations, sensing and responding solutions for the built environment, as well as virtual space modelling and data management.
