Giulia Scalet is Assistant Professor at the Department of Civil Engineering and Architecture of the University of Pavia (Italy) since 2019. She received a B.S. (2008) and a M.S. (2010) cum laude in Civil Engineering and a Ph.D. (2014) in Civil and Environmental Engineering from the University of Bologna (Italy). She has been a postdoctoral researcher at Ecole Polytechnique (France) and at the University of Pavia (Italy). She was awarded an ERC Starting Grant for the project CoDe4Bio (COmputational DEsign for 4D BIOfabrication: harnessing programmable materials for dynamic pre-clinical cancer models) in 2022. She won the “2020 Young Researchers Prize” in the Engineering sector, instituted by the 2003 Group for Scientific Research, the prize “Best Graduated Women of the Engineering and Chemistry Faculties of the University of Bologna” by Unindustria et al. in 2011, and the “Best PhD Thesis in Computational Solid Mechanics” Award by the Italian Group of Computational Mechanics in 2014. She visited several international institutions, among the others, the Texas A&M University (US), the University of Houston (US), and the RWTH Aachen University (Germany).

She is and has been involved in successful projects financed by the Italian Ministry of Education, University and Research, Lombardy Region, and the Italian Interuniversity Consortium of Materials Science and Technology as well as in collaborations with companies. She is member of the 4D Printing Society‘s Senior Board Directors.
She is expert in material constitutive modeling, advanced computational mechanics for industrial applications, 4D printing, and fatigue modeling.
She published over 30 peer-reviewed papers, book chapters, and several conference proceedings.
