I am an Associate Professor at the University of Split, Faculty of Civil Engineering, Architecture and Geodesy, where I lead the Laboratory for Seismic Testing. My research focuses on numerical and experimental analysis of how structures behave under static and dynamic loads, with a particular interest in earthquake engineering. I teach courses on concrete structures, bridges, and prestressed concrete, aiming to connect theory with practice. Throughout my career, I have contributed to over 50 professional projects, supporting safer and more resilient construction. Alongside my research and teaching, I coordinate internship and employment programmes and act as Commissioner for students with disabilities. I also serve on technical committees for Eurocodes and on editorial boards of scientific journals, driven by a commitment to advancing structural engineering and mentoring the next generation of engineers.
