ABOUT ME

My research expertise focuses on "enriched continuum mechanics", and its applications to Engineering Science.

​

Thanks to my knowledge in this domain, I am able to frame otherwise complex problems involving microstructured materials directly at the scale of the Engineer, including the pertinent macroscopic boundary conditions.

Given the generality of the adopted theoretical framework, I could find exciting applications in disparate fields, such as the dynamics of mechanical metamaterials, composite materials, materials of civil engineering and living tissues.
