The main field of work of my research focuses on the Mechanics of Partially Saturated Soils, evaluating the deformational and resistant behavior of soils in the face of characteristic variables such as suction, as well as the fragile behavior of said soils. Within the field of Geotechnical Engineering I participate in projects on seismic resilience and renewable energies, mainly focused on the development of foundations for energy storage systems. With more than 50 citations, I have an h index = 4.
