Filippo Masi, post-doctoral researcher at GeM, is one of the 2 winners of the 2020 CSMA thesis prize.
He carried out his thesis, entitled ”Fast-dynamic response and failure of masonry structures of non-standard geometry subjected to blast loads” under the supervision of Ioannis Stefanou (GeM – Centrale Nantes) and Paolo Vannucci (Université Versailles Saint-Quentin-en-Yvelines).
Filippo Masi has also been nominated for the ECCOMAS thesis prize (European Community on Computational Methods in Applied Sciences).
CSMA (Computational Structural Mechanics Association) is a French association with more than 300 academic and industrial members, and a Scientific and Technical Group within the AFM (French Mechanics Association). Its flagship event is the Colloque National en Calcul des Structures, held in Giens every 2 years (odd years). The association also organises several scientific days each year.
