About this research group:

We work on design, analysis and optimization of
lightweight structures. 

Currenlty developing methods to
assess crashworthiness in the preliminary design of unconventional aircraft (unconventional configurations and unconventional fuels); and on
exploiting the maximum strength of available materials in designs that allow post-buckling.




“Never regard study as a duty, but as the enviable opportunity to learn to know the liberating influence of beauty in the realm of the spirit, for your own personal joy and to the profit of the community to which your later work belongs.”Albert Einstein
