Aerospace Engineer with expertise in Computational Mechanics and Optimal Design of materials and structures. My research has been primarily focused on developing new topology optimization techniques for the design of structural and thermal components, tackling several complex topology optimization problems. Over recent years, my focus has extended to the analysis and optimal design of lightweight noise insulating materials, combining both multi-scale modeling and topology optimization. Additionally, I have delved into innovative approaches for analyzing laminated composites employing multi-scale methodologies to improve computational efficiency. At present, I seek to explore the integration of machine learning techniques into the analysis and design processes of advanced materials.
