About
Carlos Gomes is a leading researcher in structural engineering and computational design, with a focus on the multi-criteria optimization of thin concrete shells. His work bridges the gap between early-stage architectural design and structural performance, enabling more sustainable and efficient building forms. Gomes’s most-cited paper, "An integrated framework for multi-criteria optimization of thin concrete shells at early design stages" (2018, 16 citations), introduces a novel methodology that combines parametric modeling, finite element analysis, and optimization algorithms to simultaneously address structural integrity, material efficiency, and aesthetic goals. This framework has been instrumental in advancing the use of lightweight, resource-conscious shell structures, reducing material consumption while maintaining strength. Beyond this, Gomes has contributed to the development of digital tools that empower architects and engineers to explore complex geometries with confidence. His work is widely recognized for its practical impact on sustainable construction, and he continues to influence both academic research and industry practice, inspiring a new generation of designers to integrate optimization into the earliest phases of building design.
