I was awarded a Marie Sklodowska Curie Individual fellowship by the European Commission for a project titled Full field damage assessment of composites for impact type loading (FIDELITY). I commenced my fellowship at the Bristol Composites Institute at the University of Bristol in April 2020. My research experience includes working as a research associate at the Impact Engineering Laboratory of University of Oxford and as a postdoctoral research fellow at Tampere University of Technology and Mines Ales.

My main research interests include composite materials, Finite Element modelling and impact dynamics. I obtained my PhD in 2014 under a jointly awarded Cotutelle agreement between University of New South Wales, Australia and Arts et Métiers Paristech, France. My thesis on the “Effect of block copolymer nanoparticles on the low velocity impact behaviour of sandwich composites” was conducted at the School of Engineering and Information Technology at UNSW Canberra and at the Institut de Mécanique et d'Ingénierie de Bordeaux I2M, Talence (ENSAM Bordeaux).
