My research work is oriented towards the understanding, modeling and optimization of the mechanical response of engineering materials.
My research stays in several universities and research institutions worldwide have given me the opportunity to establish numerous international collaborations and to learn from very bright scientists. These include Profs Covadonga Betegón (University of Oviedo), Christian Niordson (Technical University of Denmark), Stéphane Bordas (University of Luxembourg), Lorenzo Bardella (University of Brescia), Rafael Gallego (University of Granada), Norman Fleck (University of Cambridge), Vikram Deshpande (University of Cambridge), and Richard Gangloff (University of Virginia), among others; their valuable advice cannot be acknowledged enough.
Please do not hesitate to get in contact if you think we could collaborate; I am very much open to new ideas and suggestions and I am keen to cooperate with other researchers in academia or industry. MSc Thesis projects are usually available for students (please send an e-mail to arrange a meeting).
