Prof. Tomasi he is expert in timber structures and his current research activity includes the ductile design of timber joints, glued in rods, analysis of the interaction between timber floor and masonry structure in existing buildings, seismic behaviour of multi-storey timber buildings. He received his MSc in Civil Engineering in 2000 and is PhD in Structural Engineering in 2004 at University of Trento. Since 2005, he was involved in teaching activity in the Timber Engineering and Structural Rehabilitation courses of the Civil Engineering and Architectural Degree Programs at University of Trento. Since 2016 he is appointed professor of Timber Structures at Norwegian University of Life Science, Ås, Norway.
He is co-author of more than 40 papers published in Peer Reviewed International Journals and International Conference Proceedings, and of a manual on Timber Engineering (in Italian). He participated to research project at national and European level as research member and principal investigator (SERIES Seismic Engineering Research Infrastructures for European Synergies, Framework Program 7, ES-SAFE Energy and Seismic Affordable Renovation Solution, Horizon 2020).
Prof. Tomasi has been involved in Standard Committee both in Italy and in Norway. He is member of Norwegian mirror groups for Eurocode 5 and Eurocode 8 (Committee SN/K 063 Jordskjelvlaster", Committee SN/K 077 "Trekonstruksjoner"), and he is active in different working groups in CEN-TC250/SC5. He has been member of Project team 1 (TC250/SC5.PT1, Cross laminated timber) and Project team 3 (TC250/SC5.PT3, holes in beams).
