Professor Guy Lagae

Emeritus, Faculty of Engineering Science, Laboratorium voor Modelonderzoek
State University at Ghent, Belgium

Biography:
Guy Lagae, born 1944, received his civil engineering degree from the Univ. of Ghent in 1969. He obtained his PhD with a dissertation on the lateral torsional buckling of planar frames in 1975 and is now (2014) professor of structural analysis.
