Dr. Thennavan M M.Tech., P.hD.
Post Doctoral Fellow
I'm doing my Post-Doctoral fellowship at the University of Naples Federico II, Italy. I'm currently working in the field of structural and earthquake-resistant design in the Department of Structures for Engineering and Architecture. My research focuses on developing innovative solutions to enhance the resilience of buildings and infrastructure against seismic events. I am passionate about contributing to the advancement of sustainable and safe construction practices in earthquake-prone regions. My goal is to bridge the gap between research and practical applications in the field of structural engineering. I am dedicated to creating designs that not only meet safety standards but also promote sustainability and efficiency in construction projects. I have collaborated with industry professionals to implement cutting-edge technologies and materials in my designs, ensuring that they are both resilient and environmentally friendly. By staying informed on the latest advancements in structural engineering, I strive to continuously improve the safety and durability of buildings in seismic zones. I believe that bridging this gap is crucial for the advancement of the industry and the well-being of society as a whole. Through my innovative approach and commitment to excellence, I am confident in my ability to contribute positively to the field of structural engineering.
