Ramoel Serafini

Civil Engineer from the University of Caxias do Sul (2016), with an academic exchange at the University of British Columbia (Vancouver, Canada). Specialist in Didactic-Pedagogical Processes for Distance Learning Courses from the Virtual University of the State of São Paulo (2021). PhD in Civil Engineering from the University of São Paulo (2021), with a sandwich period at the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya (Barcelona, Spain), and a postdoctoral fellowship at Universidade São Judas Tadeu (2022). Currently, he is an Adjunct Professor II at Universidade São Judas Tadeu and Researcher in the Graduate Program in Civil Engineering (Professional Masters) at the same institution. He also serves as Senior Researcher (Level 4) at Instituto Ânima Sociesc for Research, Innovation, and Culture, where he coordinates five research projects, three of which have been completed. He currently leads the projects IA 15/2025, PROCIÊNCIA 80/2025, and FAPESP AR 2022/14045-5, focusing on the evaluation of testing parameters on the post-cracking behavior of fiber-reinforced concrete, the influence of nanosilica surface treatment on fibers, fire action on concrete structures, and computational modeling. Recipient of Honorable Mention in the CAPES Thesis Award (2022), Honorable Mention in the USP Outstanding Thesis Award (2022), Honorable Mention in the IBRACON Theses and Dissertations Award (2022), and the USJT Teaching Merit Award (2025). His expertise lies in Civil Engineering, particularly in infrastructure works, with emphasis on quality control and construction materials, especially special concretes such as shotcrete and fiber-reinforced concrete for tunnels, dams, and pavements. He actively participates in technical standardization, contributing to committees and draft texts on fiber-reinforced concrete, steel fibers, and concrete under fire conditions.
