She has a comprehensive academic background in Civil Engineering, culminating in a PhD. Their research has consistently focused on the behavior and enhancement of reinforced concrete structures. The Master's thesis investigated the impact of introducing openings on the performance of two-way solid slabs, laying the groundwork for a PhD dissertation that explored strengthening structurally compromised reinforced concrete columns with longitudinal holes using CFRP wraps. This research demonstrates a specialized expertise in experimental mechanics and advanced composite materials for structural retrofit.
