Short presentation
I am a lecturer at the applied mechanics division, department of materials science and engineering. I have obtained my PhD in material mechanics from University of Padova, Italy year 2014 and Docentship in applied mechanics from Uppsala University in 2023.
I teach solid mechanics, structural design, finite element analysis and fracture mechanics. My expertise and interests are characterization of mechanical properties of materials, additive manufacturing of polymers and finite element modelling.
