Hello, I'm Francesco Russo, the Founder and Principal of Russo Structural Services. With a passion kindled over 25 years ago, I've dedicated my career to the art and science of structural engineering, specializing in the complexities of bridge analysis and design. My journey began at the Iowa DOT, evolving into leadership roles in major consulting firms, and now, I spearhead my own venture.

Throughout my career, I've embraced continual challenges, leading projects that span from the intricate design of bridges to the rigorous demands of forensic engineering. My academic roots, with a PhD in Civil Engineering from Iowa State University, have been fundamental in my role as an educator and mentor in the field. My expertise isn't just technical; it's about sharing knowledge, whether through professional teaching or by contributing to industry-leading publications.

I've been recognized for my commitment and expertise with honors like the Young Engineer of the Year and a Certificate of Honor from Temple University. As a licensed Professional Engineer, I ensure excellence in every project, including significant ones like the I-4 Ultimate and the Land Between The Lakes. My aim? To push the boundaries of what's possible in structural engineering while nurturing the next generation of engineers. Let's build the future, together.
