Full vehicle crash simulations to analyze and assess vehicle crashworthiness.

Analysis and simulation of safety systems such as steering wheels, airbag modules, seat-belts and pedestrian protection systems with CAE tools according to automotive safety standards. Explicit and implicit finite element analysis with nonlinear response on a variety of products, using a wide range of material models, from metals to polymers, enabling to solve complex real world problems accurately

Research in Automotive Semi-Active Suspensions Systems Control Engineering project to improve comfort in passenger vehicles using control techniques with the implementation of semi-active suspension systems.

Mechanical design involving concept generation, CAD models, looking for new business opportunities for the company.

Summer project where I worked in the lean manufacturing department. I developed time and motion studies, added value and ergonomics studies, and also improvements implementation.
