Rosalba Ferrari is currently appointed as Associate Professor at the University of Bergamo, Department of Engineering and Applied Sciences (Dec. 2022, SSD (academic sector) CEAR-06/A – Scienza delle Costruzioni (Mechanics of Solids and Structures)). As of October 2024, she holds the position of Deputy Director in her department, where she is also the contact person for Third Mission and Public Engagement initiatives. At the University of Bergamo she earlier received a Doctoral Degree in Mechatronics, Information Technology, New Technologies and Mathematical Methods (2013). Since then, she was appointed first as Research Assistant, also in collaboration with the Institute of Structural Engineering (IBK), ETH Zurich; then as Research Associate (Ricercatore a Tempo Determinato RTD-A, RTD-B). At UniBg she teaches "Mechanics of Solids", "Computational Mechanics of Solids and Structures" and "Structural Monitoring". Since January 2021, she has served as Assistant Editor for the international Journal Meccanica, published by Springer. Her research interests focus on Structural Health Monitoring, Limit Analysis of large-scale structures, modal dynamic identification, FEM model updating, signal processing and heterogeneous data fusion procedures.

Cristiana Achille is currently an Associate Professor of Topography and Cartography. She is co-scientific director, together with Prof. Eng. Francesco Fassi, of the 3DSurvey Group laboratory of the ABCLab System of the Department of the Politecnico di Milano. The Laboratory is a research group with a solid international character composed of Ph.D., research fellows, and trainees of different nationalities. The laboratory's research activities are part of the Geomatics sector (topography, photogrammetry) and concern surveys and measurements in the architectural and archaeological fields, with a particular focus on Cultural Heritage. The laboratory specialises in three-dimensional surveying in the archaeological field to support excavation operations, for the survey of complex architecture, and in the environmental field. Other research topics are reality-based three-dimensional modeling at large (1-20, 1:50) or huge scale (1:1); the creation of dedicated information systems (WEB platforms) to support building maintenance and conservation operations; 3D GIS and cartography; and structural monitoring (precision topography). Several national and international collaborations are born from joint research activities at the doctoral level, summer schools, and participation in competitive calls that have favored outgoing and incoming visiting activities of postgraduate students and scientific exchange/collaboration. The Laboratory not only conducts research activities but also provides teaching support, training, and tutoring (3DSurvey Group).
