GENERAL
Biography
Civil Engineer, Ph.D. in Structural Engineering with experience in nonlinear modeling of buildings, seismic risk assessment of cities, and the response of non-structural components.
In the academic field, he has authored over 30 articles in top-quartile SCOPUS/WoS journals on topics related to the seismic performance of reinforced concrete frames and wall buildings. Additionally, he has conducted research on the application of machine learning to predict floor displacements and accelerations in buildings.
