Lucas Carvalho holds a Master's degree in Engineering from the University of Porto and is currently enrolled in the Civil Engineering Doctoral Program. His research focuses on developing substructure solutions for prefabricated bridges, aiming to facilitate construction while maintaining adequate resistance to earthquakes. Currently, Lucas is a research fellow on a project regarding the structural behavior of historic buildings near the construction of the Porto metro. Prior to this, Lucas worked on a research project concerning innovative solutions for precast railway bridges, related to his doctoral thesis. Throughout his doctoral studies, he has already published five scientific articles, mainly related to his current research area. Additionally, he has previous experience in building projects, with three years of work in a structural engineering office in São Paulo, Brazil.
