Rebecca gained her MSc in Aerospace Engineering focused on Space applications in April 2022. The topic of her master thesis was “Multiscale models for the hygro-thermo-elastic analysis of heterogeneous composite materials and structures”. She is about to start a PhD program in Mechanical Engineering under the PRE-ECO (pre-eco.eu) project at Polytechnic of Turin.

Her areas of research concern micromechanics analysis of composite and the study of VAT material focused on thermal aspects. She is involved in a project developed within the MUL2 research group with the University of British Columbia and the University of Washington concerning the study of process-induced deformations and residual stresses in composite materials.
