Since the early 2000s, Elena Mele has carried out teaching and research activities concerning Tall Buildings. Among the teaching activities, from the academic year 2005-06 to present, she teaches “Structures for tall buildings” at University of Naples Federico II, in the MSc programs "Building Engineering", "Building Engineering and Architecture" and "Structural Engineering”, and in the context of the second-level international Master program "Design of steel structures". She has supervised several master theses and PhD dissertations on topics related to structural design of tall buildings.
She also carries out a wide research activity on tall building structures, and is author of several papers published in peer-reviewed journals and conference proceedings related to: diagrid structures, hexagrid and Voronoi-based structural patterns, optimization of structural grid façades, seismic…
