PhD in Mechanics with a career in the field of defense applications and highly dynamic phenomena analysis (terminal ballistics, blasts&detonations, impact mechanics), combining technical expertise with leadership in R&D projects. My approach integrates experimental testing, material characterization analyses, and computer simulations using industry-leading tools such as LS-DYNA, HyperWorks, ANSYS, IMPETUS AFEA and Abstrao Solver. Core expertise -Numerical simulation & modeling of terminal ballistics events, blast effects, and impact mechanics. -Material characterization tests for numerical models and reliable simulations. -Experimental Testing (ballistic impacts, explosive detonations) -CAD Design & Optimization: -R&D projects leadership, acquisition, management, and implementation. -Experienced in technical writing, publishing in peer-reviewed journals and presenting research findings at international conferences.
