João Pacheco de Almeida has been an assistant professor at Université catholique de Louvain since 2018, where he teaches six courses in structural engineering. He earned his PhD in earthquake engineering from the University of Pavia, Italy. He then worked as a postdoctoral researcher at Eucentre (Italy) before joining the EESD Laboratory at EPFL (Switzerland), where he later became a research associate. His primary research focus is on developing and refining numerical and mechanical models for nonlinear and dynamic structural responses to extreme loadings, with a strong emphasis on the intelligent design and execution of experimental tests.
