Curriculum
Brief CV
Palma (Mallorca) Architect and Ph.D. in Construction Engineering from the Polytechnic University of Catalonia (2013). He founded the architectural firm 7.12 Arquitectos with Jaime Salvá, combining with the activity of advisor of building structures for other professionals and precast structural concrete and prestressed companies. Associate lecturer since 2008, assistant since 2011, lecturer since 2015, and senior lecturer (Associate Professor - American English) since 2020 in Construction Engineering. He teaches the Bachelor of Construction and the Master of Industrial Engineering. His research focuses on building technologies, from the structural point of view, the introduction of smart materials in structures (shape memory alloys), precast and/or prestressed concrete, and the energy performance of buildings. He has over 60 publications, including articles, contributions to books, and conference presentations (SEE MAIN PUBLICATIONS). His research currently focuses on studying the possible applications of shape memory alloys in structural matters. He has contributed to two national research programs and with different companies in the Balearic Islands in the transfer of technology and is co-author of 'Problemas resueltos de hormigón estructural en edificación'.
He has been invited to 2 research stays, by Professor L. Sneed at the University of Illinois at Chicago (UIC) in 2022; and by Professors A. Muttoni and M. Fernández Ruiz at the École polytechnique fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) in 2015.
