RESEARCH
My first research experience is about tensegrity systems, which I started studying in 1999 and to which I am still dedicated now. Tensegrity systems presents an interesting mixture of various properties and problems that leaded me to study different fields of engineering and mathematics.
Here is the webpage I prepared about  tensegrity systems.

In 2005, I started investigating the biomechanics of the spine, to study the effects of cement injection in percutaneous vertebroplasty and kiphoplasty.
Here is my resume, as a webpage or in pdf format.
