Giulia Aguzzi

In her Ph.D. dissertation, entitled “Architected metastructures for elastic wave control”,
Giulia focused on the design and investigation of novel architected metastructures for the control of mechanical vibrations at various wavelength scales, hence covering a broad range of applications. In the first stage of her research, she numerically investigated layered metafoundation designs aimed at hindering harmful seismic excitations and protecting newly constructed buildings. During the second part of her Ph.D., she focused on the dynamics of beam-based lattice structures. In particular, she numerically and experimentally unveiled the dynamics of the octet lattice, shedding light on its potential
to absorb groundborne vibrations and control flexural waves in reticulated plates.

Currently, Giulia is working as Data Scientist at Kistler Instrumente AG.
