WELCOME TO MY HOMEPAGE

Welcome to my personal homepage.

Here, you will find information about my research activities in the fields of computational mechanics, multi-physics modelling, inelastic material modelling, and numerical simulation of heterogeneous and anisotropic materials, with a particular focus on synthetic and natural composites.

My research is primarily based on the nonlinear finite element method, through which I develop, combine, and implement advanced modelling strategies to investigate the behaviour of materials and structures across different length scales.

A central part of my work is constitutive modelling, where I develop mathematical and computational models to describe the mechanical response of complex materials under different loading conditions. These models help capture the interactions between material constituents and provide deeper insight into damage initiation, evolution, and failure.

Another important focus of my research is multiscale modelling, which aims to bridge the gap between microscopic material mechanisms and macroscopic structural behaviour. By incorporating information from different length scales, I seek to improve the predictive capability of simulations and support the design of reliable, efficient, and high-performance materials and structures.

My work also addresses static failure, fatigue damage, and durability assessment. I investigate how materials degrade and fail under different mechanical and environmental conditions, with the aim of improving lifetime prediction, structural safety, and damage tolerance.

In addition, I am interested in crashworthiness and impact behaviour, particularly the energy absorption capacity of composite materials and structures under high strain rates and extreme loading scenarios. This research is relevant to applications in the automotive, aerospace, civil engineering, and renewable energy sectors.

To complement my background in computational mechanics, I also explore the integration of machine learning and data-driven methods into material modelling, simulation, and optimization. These approaches offer powerful opportunities to accelerate simulations, identify complex material behaviour, support surrogate modelling, and enable more efficient design processes.

Furthermore, I have a growing interest in 3D and 4D printing technologies and their applications in material and structural engineering. Additive manufacturing opens new possibilities for fabricating complex geometries, tailoring material properties, and developing innovative structures with enhanced performance.
