He was professor of machine design at the University of Padua, Italy, between 2006 and 2015. He is chairman of the technical committee ESIS TC15 on Structural Integrity of additive manufactured components of European Structural Integrity Society and founder of the related conference ESIAM (www.esiam.site) together with Prof. Torgersen. Filippo Berto received several awards and distinctions, such as Award of Merit (2018) and Wohler medal (2020) from the European Structural Integrity Society. He has received the Stephen Timoshenko Fellow (2018) given by University of Stanford (USA) where he has spent some visiting periods. He is editor-in-chief or Editor of several scientific journals, such as, Fatigue and Fracture of Engineering Materials and Structures, Material Design and Processing Communications and Materials. In addition, he belongs to the editorial board of several leading scientific journals in the area of fatigue, fracture and structural integrity, such as, Materials & Design, International Journal of Fatigue, Safety Science, Theoretical and Applied Fracture Mechanics, Materials Science and Engineering: A, Advanced Engineering Materials, Polymer Testing, Strength of Materials, among others. Filippo Berto is also voting member of ASTM F42 on Additive Manufacturing Technologies and ASTM E08 on Metal Fatigue and Fracture. He is collaborating with the Centre of Excellence of additive manufacturing established in Auburn and in particular with Nima Shamsaei and Mohsen Seifi who is chair of additive manufacturing programs in ASTM. As technical Chair of TC15 is also the founder of the series of European conferences on additive manufacturing ESIAM (www.esiam.site). In 2020 he has been one of the founders of TC18 of ESIS dedicated to the structural integrity of welded structures. Filippo Berto has a major role in the Italian Group of Fracture being president since 2021 and co-editor in chief of the associated journal. He is also vice-president of the European Society of Structural Integrity since June 2022. He is also holding some honorary chair professorship at Hong Kong Polytechnic University (Hong Kong) and Mandela Metropolitan University (South Africa). In 2021, Filippo Berto was awarded with the Distinguished Changjiang Chair Professor at Xi'an Jiaotong University through the Changjiang Scholars Program. He has been collaborating with CERN until the end of 2022 for testing and characterizing materials for The Large Hadron Collider (LHC). Filippo Berto was an adjunct professor at the prestigious Erich Schmid Institute of Materials Science, Austrian Academy of Sciences, Leoben. He has been an adjunct professor at SUPSI University in Switzerland until the beginning of 2023 Berto has educated more than 20 PhDs students and more than 200 master students. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- General information Date of Birth: 12 February 1978 Place of Birth: Vicenza (Italy) Citizenship: Italian Education 2003 Master degree in industrial engineering at University of Padova 2006 Phd in Mechanical Engineering and Structural Design, Department of Mechanical Engineering, University of Firenze, Italy.
