Biography:
After completing his doctoral studies, Dr. Redekop joined the Department of Civil Engineering at the University of the West Indies where he offered courses and conducted research in structures. In 1982, he joined the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Ottawa. He taught courses in the mechanics stream and conducted research on stress analysis, vibration, and buckling of pressure vessels and shell structures. On two occasions, he served as Director of the Ottawa Carleton Institute of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering. He retired in 2008.
