Dr. Emanuela Bosco

Biography

Emanuela Bosco is an Associate Professor and Chair of Applied Mechanics Design at Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e). Her research interest is in the field of computational mechanics, particularly multi-scale methods for multi-physics problems. Emanuela focuses on materials subjected to complex loading conditions, involving multiple physical fields, which trigger interactions in material behavior at both macro and micro-structural levels. Her research is centered on formulating multi-scale, multi-physics models that bridge the gap between the underlying physics of material behavior at the macro-scale, integrating dedicated experiments for model calibration and validation with relevant applications. Current research includes multi-scale modeling of granular materials, fibrous materials, chemically-induced degradation of concrete, and multi-physics degradation of historical art objects. Emanuela approaches these problems using multi-scale techniques that combine numerical solution strategies such as linear/non-linear Finite Element Method (FEM), Extended Finite Element Method (X-FEM), and Discrete Element Method (DEM).
