Eugenio Ruocco is an Associate Professor of Structural Mechanics at the University of Campania "Luigi Vanvitelli" in Italy. He earned his PhD in Structural Mechanics from the University of Palermo in 2001, focusing on analytical solutions for buckling in stiffened plates and shells. He has taught Structural Mechanics and Masonry Structures at various universities, including the University of Naples, Second University of Naples, and the University of Campania Luigi Vanvitelli.Dr. Ruocco is the author of the textbook "Scienza delle Costruzioni: il solido di Saint Venant," published by McGraw-Hill in 2011. His research interests encompass numerical methods and analytical solutions in various areas of structural mechanics. He has published over 100 papers, including contributions on buckling and vibration in stiffened plates and shells, linear and nonlinear beam models of third and higher orders, and isoperimetric and isogeometric boundary element methods in elasticity and plasticity. Sixty of his publications have appeared in indexed international journals.

Since 2022, Dr. Ruocco has served on the editorial board of the "International Journal for Computational Methods in Engineering Science and Mechanics" published by Taylor & Francis. He actively participates in multiple international research projects. Additionally, he has been a visiting professor/researcher at esteemed institutions such as the National University of Singapore (2015, 2016), University of Newcastle (2017), University of Queensland (2017), Government College of Engineering in Karad (2018), Escuela Tecnica Superior de Ingenieros de Caminos, Canales y Puertos, Universitat Politecnica de Valencia (2019), Texas A&M University (2022), and University of Stavanger (2023).
