University of Auckland, New Zealand
Biography:
My PhD was on the topic of cold-formed steel portal frames supervised by Professor D.A. Nethercot. Following this, I spent five years working at the Steel Construction Institute (The SCI), where I extended my research interests to include hot-rolled steel, composite construction and fire. I have been a full-time academic since 2007, working at the University of Strathclyde, Glasgow, and Queen's University, Belfast, before joining the University of Auckland in 2014. To date, I have authored slightly over 70 journal papers and supervised ten PhD students to completion, three of whom are pursuing full-time academic careers. My research is dominated in trying to understand fundamental structural behavior, for which I employ a combination of full-scale testing and finite element modeling. More recently, my research includes structural engineering applications to Building Information Modeling (BIM). A recent paper entitled "Finite element investigation of cold-formed steel portal frames in fire" describes how a BIM model was moved to ABAQUS and subsequently used to investigate the behavior of portal frames in fire; this paper won the Palmer Prize.
