Overview
Oreste S. Bursi graduated in Mechanical Engineering at the University of Padua in 1984, and achieved his PhD. in Mechanical Engineering at the University of Bristol. He interacted with, invited, financially supported and coordinated a number of visiting professors and scientists.

Tremblay, Earthquake Engineering, Ecole Polytechnique de Montreal, (CA). Bin Wu, Numerical Methods in Structural Dynamics, Harbin Institute of Technology, (PRC). D. P. Stoten, S.D. Neild, Control Engineering, University of Bristol, (UK). David J. Wagg, Dynamic Substructuring, University of Sheffield, (UK). P. Pegon, F.J. Molina, Numerical methods in structural dynamics, Joint Research Centre, EU, Ispra, (I). L. Caracoglia, Random vibrations in structural dynamics, Northeastern University, Boston, (USA).
