 PhD degree in Civil and Environmental Engineering
in  
(November 2004 / October 2007; thesis discussed in March 2008) 
 Research period at the  (September
2006 / March 2007)  Course
of Non linear analysis of structures 
 Master in Seismic Engineering
in  (November
2003 / October 2004)  
 Qualification
to practice the profession of engineer, passed public examination (December
2003) 
 Civil engineer, branch: design and calculation of structures.

 RESEARCH MAIN SUBJECTS 
 Design of reinforced concrete shell elements simultaneously loaded with in-plane internal forces, bending and twisting moments and shear, using an original theory, developed during the PhD course. A three-dimensional non-linear constitutive model has been developed. 
 Sectional analysis of reinforced and prestressed concrete beams, with arbitrary cross-section, with or without stirrups, subjected to axial forces, bending and shear. 
 Structural dynamics; model of seismic loads for the stochastic dynamic analysis of structures, using uncertainty modelling and probabilistic methods. 
 Seismic
devices to connect precast pre-stressed structural elements.
