Currently, I am an Assistant Professor at the Civil Engineering Department of the School of Engineering of the University of Santiago, Chile, and an international consultant in structural engineering.

Between July 2011 and February 2013, I held a position of Post-doctoral Research Officer in the College of Engineering of Swansea University, Wales, United Kingdom. My investigation was part of a project funded by the  European Research Council entitled Optimisation of Multi-scale Structures with Applications to Morphing Aircraft, led by Professor Michael I. Friswell. Before taking up this position, I was a Research Assistant in this project, between June 2010 and June 2011.

In 2012, I received a Postdoctoral Fellowship granted by the Chilean government (National Commission for Scientific and Technological Research - CONICYT) to continue my postdoctoral program in the United Kingdom, from September 2012 to March 2013.

My PhD was carried out in the Civil and Computational Engineering Centre, at Swansea University, in the field of computational mechanics of solids and structures, under the supervision of Professor E.A. de Souza Neto.
