My area of research focuses on polymers and composite materials, specifically studying the aging and degradation of these materials, as well as their manufacturing and testing processes, fatigue, residual strength and life prediction, damage and durability, adhesive bonding, material characterization, sensors, non-destructive testing, and structural health monitoring. I am passionate about exploring the application of artificial intelligence in polymer composite materials and structures. As a curious and innovative engineer, I am always seeking new ways to push the boundaries of my research. Additionally, I am committed to promoting sustainability in my work. Outside of my research, I am a student pilot who enjoys exploring the skies in my free time
