My research interests are focused on the development of algorithms and mathematical models in the field of Computational Mechanics applied to various engineering problems. Currently, my research is focused on the computational design of metamaterials, employing various techniques such as multiscale modeling, topological optimization, reduction methods and, more recently, machine learning approaches.
