Sc., Structural Engineering, 2006 National Autonomous University of Mexico B. Sc., Civil Engineering, 2004 PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE Enrique Martinez Romero, SA, Internship, 2006 Duties & Responsibilities: § Analyzed computer models of earthquake-resistant multi-story buildings and parking structures. Using SAP2000®, ETABS ® and RAM Steel® software. § Designed civil infrastructure based on regional design code specifications. § Completed the analysis, design and supervised the completion of design drawings of a steel building facility of approximately 5000m2 (54000ft2) within a time record of two weeks. Under Project Engineer Armando Merida advice. PROFESSIONAL LICENSE Engineer-In-Training (EIT),  2011 RESEARCH EXPERIENCE University of California, Irvine, 2007 – 2012 Duties & Responsibilities: § Assisted execution of laboratory tests on carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) specimens. § Applied Finite Element Methods to simulate structural response of bridges, multi-story buildings, and facilities due to hazardous scenarios such as earthquakes. Using SAP2000®, OpenSees® and ANSYS® software. § Coordinated interdisciplinary teams in execution of field testing of Caltrans bridges for Structural Health Monitoring and damage detection. § Coordinated the execution of laboratory tests on fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) plywood walls in collaboration with Fyfe Co. personnel. § Applied System Identification techniques to identify dynamic characteristics of structures using field data. National Autonomous University of Mexico, 2005–2006 Duties & Responsibilities: § Developed sophisticated computer models to analyze historical structures and simulate their response due to earthquakes. Using SAP2000® and ANSYS® software. § Contributed to build an old church scale model to be tested on a shaking table.
