History: CESST 2024
Fabio Tosti received the MSc and Engineering degree cum laude in Road Transportation and Infrastructures from the Sciences of Civil Engineering Department of Roma Tre University, Rome, Italy, in 2010. In 2014, he has received his PhD with European Doctorate Label (excellent rating) in Civil Engineering from the same department, wherein he subsequently held a post-doctoral position. Since 2016 he is Lecturer (Research Fellow) in "Applications of Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR)" at the School of Computing and Engineering of the University of West London. His research work is focused on the development of GPR-based methods and the use of other non-destructive testing (NDT) techniques in Civil Engineering and Geosciences. During his PhD, he was hosted twice at the Delft University of Technology - Department of Geoscience & Engineering - for the development and validation of new GPR techniques, and for the electromagnetic characterization of typical road materials.
He has been involved in several European and Italian Research projects as a Research team member. He is the leader of Project 2.5 "Determination, by using GPR, of the volumetric water content in structures, sub-structures, foundations and soil", within the framework of the COST (European Cooperation in Science and Technology) Action TU1208 "Civil Engineering Applications of Ground Penetrating Radar". Since 2013, he is co-Convener at the EGU General Assembly for Session GI3.1 "Civil Engineering Applications of Ground Penetrating Radar". He has served as EGU Representative of Early Career Scientists (ECS) within the "Geosciences Instrumentation & Data Systems (GI)" Division for the year 2015-2016, and he is currently in charge for the year 2016-2017. He has served as Chairman in several International Conferences and Meetings on GPR and road safety issues. He has authored and co-authored about 60 publications in International journals, books, and conference proceedings, and served as guest editor in several international journals. He is the Assistant to Editors for the International journal "Advances in Transportation Studies" and a reviewer for many International ISI- and Scopus-listed journals.
