Valter Carvelli is Associate Professor at the Department of Architecture, Built Environment and Construiction Engineering at Politecnico di Milano. Prof. Stepan V. Lomov graduated with an M.S. in Physics-Mechanics from Leningrad Polytechnic Institute (1978) and then went on to complete his PhD in1985. He was awarded his Dr. Hab. on textile materials science in 1995, from St. Petersburg State University of Technology and Design. Since 1999, Professor Lomov has been working at KU Leuven, Belgium, in the Department of Materials Engineering. He was coordinator of the Composite Materials Group from 2013 to 2020. He was holder of the Toray Chair in Composite Materials at KU Leuven between 2013 to 2022 and has been an Emeritus Professor since 2020. His research areas include composites and textiles science and engineering: internal structure, manufacturing, in-service mechanical behaviour, nanocomposites, experimental damage mechanics, micro- and meso-level geometrical and mechanical models.
