About

Civil Engineer, holding a Ph.D. on structural optimization. I have a strong theoretical background in solid mechanics and continuous/numerical optimization. Proven programming skills and deep understanding of nonlinear analysis procedures and their effective implementation.

I’m currently motivated in broadening my working experience on industrial applications and to tackle challenging projects. I’m looking for a fresh and international work environment where I can further develop my professional skills and value my research attitude.
