Yuri Bessa

Currently, I am a professor of engineering in Brazil and a structural engineer. I've been teaching since 2018 in the graduate and post-graduate levels. I also design buildings and houses with different structural systems, such as reinforced concrete, post-tensioning, and structural steel - which I've been doing it for the past 8 years. I am fluent in English and Portuguese, lived for a couple of years in Colorado, USA, and I'm moving to Portugal to start my Ph.D. in FEUP.
