Dr Juliano is a Research Fellow in Geotechnical Engineering at the University of Western Australia. He completed his PhD at UWA in 2022, with a thesis on pile tip damage and extrusion buckling during installation. After his PhD, he worked as a Senior Geotechnical Engineer at Fugro in Perth, contributing to offshore foundation design for major energy projects. He returned to UWA in 2023, where he focuses on anchoring solutions for floating offshore wind. Before moving to Australia in 2018, he worked as a Geotechnical Engineer in Brazil on the design and supervision of onshore infrastructure projects, including dams, highways and railways. His background combines practical field engineering with academic research across both onshore and offshore environments.
