About
I am a structural and conservation engineer with over 10 years of experience in the assessment, analysis, and rehabilitation of historic masonry structures and heritage sites. My work focuses on developing practical, compatible, and reversible interventions that respect cultural value while ensuring structural safety.
I have contributed to large-scale heritage projects including domes, vaulted systems, aqueducts, and traditional buildings, working from diagnosis and structural analysis through to design and site implementation. My expertise includes damage assessment, non-destructive and minor-destructive testing, FEM-based analysis, and strengthening design using traditional and modern materials.
In parallel, I specialize in digital documentation, including 3D laser scanning, photogrammetry, and HBIM workflows, producing accurate as-built models and drawings to support engineering decisions.
I hold an MSc in Structural Analysis for Historic Constructions (SAHC) and bring an interdisciplinary approach that combines engineering, conservation principles, and project coordination to deliver efficient and context-sensitive solutions.
