**About the Editors**

**Raffaele Zinno** holds a Ph.D. in Chemical Technologies and New Materials (1995), and a M.E. in Civil Engineering (1988) from the University of Calabria (Italy). In 1992–1994 he was a visiting doctoral student at the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering, West Virginia University (Morgantown, WV, USA). From 1997 to 1998, he was a researcher at the CNR, Central Institute for Industrialization and Building Technology, Rome. Since 1998, he has been Associate Professor of Strength of Materials and Structural Engineering at the University of Calabria, Department of Environmental Engineering. In 2018, he obtained the Italian National Scientific Qualification (ASN) as full professor in his scientific area. His main research interests are: structural health monitoring (SHM); structural uses of wood and related experiments; theoretical analysis of structures in composite material (problems of damage in composite material, bending and buckling of structures in ordinary and advanced materials, etc.); experiments on innovative materials (composites, fiber-reinforced, or high-performance concretes, self-diagnostics, smart, etc.), and on structures made with them; design of structures in innovative materials; and problems in the dynamic analyses of structures. He founded and directs the Structural Monitoring, structural Advanced materials, structural Rehabilitation, structural Testing Laboratory (SMART Lab) at the University of Calabria.

**Serena Artese** holds a Ph.D. and M.S. in Building and Architectural Engineering. In 2014, she was a visiting doctoral student at the Universitat Politecnica de Val ` encia (UPV), Spain, Departamento ` de Ingenier´ıa Cartografica, Geodesia y Fotogrametr ´ ´ıa (DICGF). She is an Adjunct Professor of Geomatics at the University of Calabria, Italy. She holds the National Scientific Qualification (ASN) as an Associate Professor of Geomatics and is a founding member of Spring Research s.r.l. Spin-Off of the University of Calabria. Her research interests include the monitoring of buildings, infrastructure, and landslides using new methodologies and sensors; geomatics and surveying techniques; 3D modeling; and GIS applied to emergency and cultural heritage. She has participated as a speaker in several international conferences and is the author or coauthor of several articles and conference papers.
