Daniele Casagrande is an Adjunct Professor at the University of Ottawa with significant expertise in seismic structural engineering. He holds a doctorate from the University of Trento, Italy, and has advanced degrees in seismic structural engineering and a bachelor's degree from the same institution. His research focuses on the seismic behavior of timber structures, emphasizing structural performance under lateral loads, dynamic behavior of timber floors, and performance of timber connections under cyclic loads. Additionally, Casagrande's work involves the study of timber-steel hybrid structures and the development of simplified analytical and numerical models to assess the response of timber structures subjected to lateral forces. He is committed to advancing knowledge in this field and contributing to the design and construction of safe and resilient structures.
