About Research

About

I am a PhD Candidate and researcher at the NTNU Department of Structural Engineering. My academic focus centers on the robustness and structural integrity of large-scale timber infrastructure. Currently, my doctoral research investigates the fatigue behavior of dowel-type connections in timber bridges. By integrating large-scale experimental laboratory testing with advanced computational mechanics and finite element modeling (utilizing Abaqus, MATLAB, and Python), I aim to generate robust datasets that will enhance modern Eurocode 5 design standards and ensure the safety of sustainable construction.

Fatigue in timber bridges connections

This project evaluates the fatigue capacity of timber bridge dowel connections. Using experimental cyclic testing and FEM, it aims to update Eurocode design rules to ensure safer, sustainable timber infrastructure.
