Isabella Mendoza (US Office)

Isabella is currently finishing her PhD in Mechanical Engineering at Colorado School of Mines (USA). Her research heavily utilizes 2D and 3D digital image correlation (DIC) to characterize the dynamic behavior of anisotropic materials. More recently, her work focuses on characterizing impact fatigue damage in carbon fiber-reinforced polymers for naval applications using the virtual fields method (VFM) and equilibrium gap (EG) indicator. Upon completion of her PhD this summer, Isabella will serve as President of MatchID US, based in California, USA.

In her spare time, Isabella loves snowboarding in the winter, visiting the beach in the summer, and enjoying the outdoors with her partner and their dog.
