Alex Balzi

Profilo biografico

Alex Balzi was born in Cattolica (RN), Italy, on December 1991. He graduated in Civil Engineering at the Università degli Studi della Repubblica di San Marino (San Marino) in 2016 cum laude. In 2019, he became a Research fellow (Road engineering sector) in the same university. His main research topic is “Pavement management system for local road administrations”. He has expertise in the road engineering ranging from geometric-functional design of road infrastructures to pavement design and construction. Since 2016 he worked on more than 20 roadway and railway project and he supervised several theses for bachelor and master graduation.
