ABOUT ME

I am an Industrial Engineer with a MS in Applied Mathematics and a PhD in Biomechanics. My research interests focus on the use of the Finite Element Method to complex nonlinear problems, in particular in the topic of bone remodelling. Apart from the academic research, I am interested in programming and optimization.
