Ricardo Monteiro is Associate Professor (qualified as Full Professor since 2022) at the University School of Advanced Studies IUSS Pavia, where he is also the Coordinator of the Doctoral Programmes in Earthquake Engineering (ROSE) and Understanding and Managing Extremes (UME). He is also an affiliated external researcher at the University of Porto, Portugal. He has been involved in a number of European Projects, such as LESSLOSS, SYNER-G, NERA, SASPARM, SASPARM2.0, mostly dedicated to the seismic risk assessment of buildings and bridges. More recently he has coordinated European-funded research projects on seismic risk in Europe, North Africa and the Middle East (ITERATE, 2017 and INFRA-NAT, 2018) and in Italy and Portugal in the fields of integrated energy and seismic retrofitting of existing buildings and bridges, through the projects ReLUIS (2019-2026), PRIN (2020-2026) and SERENE (2023-onwards). He has been the advisor of around 50 MSc and 16 PhD theses in the field of extreme events and co-authored over 240 scientific publications, of which 91 in peer-reviewed journals. He has teaching experience in Italy, South Africa and Portugal, where he qualified in Civil Engineering at the University of Porto. He then completed his PhD specializing in Earthquake Engineering, with a thesis on Probabilistic Seismic Assessment of RC Bridges.
