Biography:
Luís Miguel dos Santos Laím is a Civil Engineer and holds a Ph.D. in Fire Safety Engineering in the Department of Civil Engineering of the University of Coimbra (UC). He is now working as a post-doctor at Coimbra University and his principal research interests lie in the areas of structural testing at high temperatures, numerical modelling and the development of simplified calculation methods. Luis also holds a Licentiate degree and an Integrated Master’s degree in Civil Engineering from the University of Coimbra, both with a grade of 17 out of 20. He is author of eight papers in international periodicals with scientific refereeing (1 on the Composite Structures, 1 on the Journal of Advanced Concrete Technology, 2 on the Engineering Structures and 4 on the Thin-Walled Structures) and published more than 25 papers in conference proceedings. In addition, he presented many research papers in conferences, a bit around the world (such as, in Brazil, Czech Republic, Sweden, Turkey, USA and China) and was co-supervisor of four Master's Degree Dissertations in UC. His main current project focuses on the development of simplified calculation methods for fire design of cold-formed steel members under the framework of research project PTDC/ECM/116859/2010, funded by the Portuguese Foundation for Science and Technology (FCT). Finally, he participated as co-coordinator of the Organizing Committee of the 2nd Ibero-Latin-American Congress on Fire Safety, held at UC, in 2013. So far, in his professional activities interacted with 19 employees in co-authorship of scientific papers. Since 2011, Luís is a member of the Ordem dos Engenheiros and of the Luso-Brazilian Association for Fire Safety (ALBRASCI).
