Biography
Renato Perucchio's current research areas are in (a) biomechanics: computational modeling of soft and cardiac tissue structures undergoing developmental processes, and (b) structural and solid mechanics: computational modeling of the mechanics of monumental concrete domes and vaults from Roman Imperial architecture. Current projects include: Structural Design of Roman Concrete Domes at Hadrian's Villa, The Grande Aula (Great Hall) of Trajan's Markets, Computational Modeling of Developmental Processes, and Mechanics of Looping in the Embryonic Heart
