About Me

I am a PhD in Structural Engineering and Fulbright alumnus currently based in Santiago, Chile. I graduated from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign in 2014, after which I spent two years working at an Engineering & Architecture firm putting my research into practice. I am now an Assistant Professor at PUC Chile.

Research Interests

My research interests are in computational mechanics and structural engineering, specifically:

  • Topology Optimization
  • Structural Optimization
  • Additive Manufacturing (3D printing)
  • Tall building design
  • Structural Dynamics
