About Me

My research is cimputational mechanics for emerging transportation applications, such as active and passive safety of autonomous vehicles, human-structure interactions, and biomechanics and I work at the Florida State University department of Civil Engineering. I joined the Crashworthiness& Impact Analysis Laboratory (CIAL) in 2016 as a graduate research assistant to pursue my Ph.D. My research interests lies between the areas of structural mechanics, dynamics, and transportation safety using computational, data-driven simulation models, and deep learning. I have a Bachelor in Mechanical and Master in Automotive Engineering.

In addition, I have over 4 years of industry experience in numerical simulations of various types of composite and steel structures (amusement park rides) under different load conditions.

My Software Skills

Finite Element Analysis (e.g., LS-DYNA, ANSYS, ABAQUS)95%
Programing (e.g., MATLAB, R and Python) 90%
Vehicle Dynamics (e.g., ADAMS and PC-CRASH) 85%
CAD Software (e.g., CATIA, SolidWork) 80%
Autonomous Driving Simulation (e.g., CARLA) 60%

Sample Research Projects

I have been involved in several academic and industrial projects since 2010. This experiences have allowed me to build on and improve my numerical modeling skills with application in impact, failure and fatigue analysis. It was a great opportunity for me to strengthen my abilities in both practical and theoretical aspects. I learned how to adapt myself to various work conditions, how to communicate well with people and more importantly how to manage, prioritize my tasks to fulfill my duties on time. Here you can see the details of some projects that I have done. If you have any question or want to know more about each project, please do not hesitate and contact me.
