Fellow Member of the Royal Institutions of Naval Architects (UK), Member of ATENA (Italy) and SNAME (USA).
Gianfranco Damilano graduated with a MSc in Naval Architect and Marine Engineer at the University of Genova.
He is presently Member of ATENA, dealing with research and corporate communication and professionalising courses. In his previous job as marine surveyor in RINA, the Italian Classification Society, he held a series of senior positions in several site offices in Italy and abroad, including Piraeus, Dubai, Hong Kong, Miami, carrying out surveys on board ships and supervision of newbuildings during construction. He published several reports concerning studies on the buckling and collapse behaviour of naval structures, supported by full scale and model tests.
