I'm a computational mechanics researcher with experience in finite element formulations for coupled processes in fractured porous media.
My work combines numerical method development and scientific code implementation, with particular focus on the modeling of strong discontinuities for subsurface engineering applications.
I have experience in C++, MATLAB, and Python, and am interested in applying computational mechanics to problems across civil, geotechnical, and energy-related engineering.
