Senior Aerospace Researcher
NASA Langley Research Center, Hampton, Virginia, USA
Biography:
Carlos' research interests include the development of finite element models for the prediction of damage propagation and residual strength of metallic and composite structures. The results of his research, which he has published in 36 peer-reviewed journal papers, numerous conference publications, and 33 NASA reports have received more than 5000 citations. He has also served as a structures analyst in several accident investigations, including the 2001 AA587 Airbus A300-600R accident investigation. In 2006, he received the NASA Exceptional Technical Achievement Medal for his work on damage models for composite structures.
