Nicolas Ospitia Patino

Nicolas Ospitia Patino is a postdoctoral researcher at Vrije Universiteit Brussel, specializing in Mechanics of Materials and Constructions. His work focuses on non-destructive testing and durability assessment of cementitious materials.

• Active in Textile Reinforced Cementitious Composites and Self-Healing Concrete.
• Research involves Wave Propagation and Acoustic Emission Monitoring for structural health assessment.

Recent Research Outputs (2024-2025): Studies on ultrasonic methods for concrete heterogeneity, fracture monitoring in textile-reinforced panels, and sustainability evaluations of self-healing concrete systems.

Current Project: FWOTM1161 – Characterization of expansive durability problems using ultrasonic measurements in concrete.
