Hi, welcome to my website!

My main research interest is in computational solid mechanics and advanced material modeling. I'm particularly keen on working in biomechanics and mechanobiology applications within this field.

Since 2021 I'm a Serra Húnter Lecturer at the Aerospace Engineering group in the Department of Physics of the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya (UPC). I joined the CAMMS group in the International Centre for Numerical Methods in Engineering (CIMNE) as an Assistant Research Professor in 2024. 

I currently balance my teaching duties in Aircraft Design with my ongoing research projects on brain mechanics and the mechanobiology of limb formation. I'm also interested in modelling self-healing polymers and biocomposites for aerospace applications.
