What inspired you to become a researcher in your field of expertise?

I always loved to discover and understand different things, and I choose engineering was with this intent. Since I discovered, and even fell in love with, the field during my bachelors degree I try to understand, learn an make more people aware or even get passionate about this subject that is so important to our lives.

How will your work help improve people’s quality of life?

Making roads safe for users and people living or working near by is directly related, pavements that help to mitigate or reduce noise improve quality of life of everyone. And improving the texture in order to enhance safety is also an obvious important step to make.

What are you most looking forward to as part of your Marie Curie Action in research and training?

Connecting with fellow researchers and industries to help realize the full potential of our research as soon as possible!
