Daniel Lira Lopes Targino is a researcher in Civil Engineering and is currently a doctoral fellow at Université Gustave Eiffel (France) awarded by the Marie Skłodowska-Curie COFUND CLEAR-Doc program. He holds a M.Sc. degree in Structural Engineering from the Federal University of Ceará (Brazil) and a Bachelor’s degree in Civil Engineering from the same institution. His work focuses on sustainable construction materials, electric road systems, and thermomechanical modeling using finite element methods. He has participated in academic exchanges and research stays in France, Sweden (KTH Royal Institute of Technology) and Brazil, contributing to multidisciplinary projects and peer-reviewed publications and patents. His current research addresses fatigue behavior and thermal stress in pavement layers and interfaces, supporting the development of next-generation EV transportation infrastructure. Targino also has experience with alkali-activated materials and machine learning applied to material design and is engaged in projects bridging sustainability and innovation.
