Federico Pisanò, Manager, Offshore Wind USA at NGI | Associate Professor at TU Delft
Dr Federico Pisanò earned his Ph.D. degree in 2011 from Politecnico di Milano and served as a post-doctoral researcher at the University of California at Davis (2012) and Politecnico di Milano (2013). In 2014, he assumed the role of Assistant Professor (subsequently promoted to Associate Professor in 2021) of Offshore Soil Mechanics at TU Delft in the Netherlands. His technical expertise revolves around developing and applying advanced numerical models to study soil behavior and soil-structure interaction processes, with a particular focus on offshore wind applications in recent years.Federico has co-authored over 90 publications in journals and conference proceedings. He co-chaired the 4th International Symposium on Cone Penetration Testing and serves as Vice-Chair of the ISSMGE TC209 (Offshore Geotechnics), member of the SUT-US OSIG and ISO WG10 / API RP7 TP3 committees, and Associate Editor for the ASCE Journal of Geotechnical and Geoenvironmental Engineering. He received the ISSMGE Bright Spark Lecture Award for emerging academics in 2019, the ICE David Hislop Award (Offshore Award) in 2022, and the OTC-ASCE Best Paper Award in 2024.Currently, Federico works at the interface between industry and academia, supporting both consulting and R&D activities for the emerging offshore wind market in the USA.
