About

Antonina Pirrotta is a leading figure in structural health monitoring (SHM) and probabilistic mechanics, whose work bridges advanced measurement technologies and the integrity of large-scale infrastructure. Her most-cited contribution, the 2023 "Roadmap on measurement technologies for next generation structural health monitoring systems" (73 citations), provides a comprehensive vision for automating condition assessment in civil and aerospace systems, tackling the critical challenge of sensor design for geometrically large components. Pirrotta’s research focuses on developing innovative sensing strategies and stochastic models to detect, localize, and predict damage in real time, enhancing the safety and longevity of bridges, aircraft, and other vital structures. Her impact is underscored by the roadmap’s role as a guiding reference for researchers and engineers, synthesizing cutting-edge approaches in measurement and data analysis. Beyond this landmark paper, Pirrotta has made notable contributions to nonlinear dynamics and reliability analysis, often integrating probabilistic methods to account for uncertainty in complex systems. Her work not only advances theoretical frameworks but also offers practical tools for resilient infrastructure, making her a pivotal voice in the next generation of SHM.
