I am a PhD candidate in Faculty of Civil Engineering and Geoscience at Delft University of Technology and working in Section of Structural Mechanics under supervision of Prof. Bert Sluys  and Dr. Garth N. Wells. I am interested in Computational Mechanics topics and now I am working on 3D Modeling of Failure in Porous Media.
