Personal profile
Research Interests
I am a Chartered Engineer (Ita) and Senior Lecturer in Structural Engineering at Queen's University Belfast.
I obtained my PhD at University of Palermo (Italy) working on seismic design of masonry and RC structures. I have experience on Seismic design, Finite element/Multibody analysis, and Scaled prototypes.
Research Focus
My current research focus is on:
- Basalt composites and shape memory alloys and for application in civil engineering;
- Digital concrete manufacturing
- Design of seismic and impact resistant structures
Teaching
CIV2067 - Architectural Space and Form
CIV1017 - Solids and Structures
CIV3064 - Structures 3
CIV3066 - Project Managenment and Engineering Data
