William Annicchiarico is a Civil Engineer from
the Universidad Metropolitana (1988), Master of Sciences (1995) and Doctor of Science
(2001) on Structural Engineering from the Universidad Central de Venezuela, where worked
from 1994 and reached the level of Associate Professor (2006) in the field of Structural
and Earthquake Resistant Engineering and Optimization. His PhD was on Optimization of
Bi-dimensional and Three-dimensional Structural Models using Genetic Algorithms and
Geometric Design Elements (in Spanish). In 1996, He forms part of the Venezuelan Center
of Bioengineering (CEBIO) and from 2004 was appointed as substitute member of the directors’
board of the National Institute of Bioengineering (INABIO). From 2006 He is working as
Visiting Scholar and Researcher in MME department at FIU. Professor Annicchiarico has
authored and co-authored over 50 technical publications in diverse fields involving
computational and analytical structural mechanics, multi-disciplinary fluid-thermo-structural
inverse problems, design and constrained optimization, and multi-objective optimization in
solid mechanic, structural engineering, earthquake resistant engineering and related problems
in bioengineering. He has organized several minisymposium and symposium in the area of
optimization in prestigious International Congress and World Congress of Computational
Mechanics. Professor Annicchiarico is a Fellow of the Venezuelan Society of Numerical
Methods in Science and Engineering and a member of the Venezuelan Society of Engineers.
