About
Welcome to my personal website!
I have created this website to highlight my academic and professional accomplishments, share my research projects and interests, and provide access to teaching and programming material I have created. You'll also find basic contact information should you wish to get in touch with me.
Currently, I work as Lecturer in Structural Engineering at the Department of Architecture and Civil Engineering, University of Bath, UK. I am looking for motivated PhD students and Postdoctoral researchers to join my research group and work in projects focused on, but not limited to:
- Conservation techniques for historic buildings and bridges.
- Non-destructive inspection methods for heritage structures.
- Diagnosis and intervention design for aging infrastructure.
- Monitoring systems for buildings with historical and cultural value.
- Sustainable and vernacular architecture methods.
- Structural behaviour and mechanical properties of structures.
- Performance of earthen structures under various conditions.
- Development of specialized constitutive models for traditional materials.
- Advanced non-linear numerical simulations in structural engineering.
- Enhancing the robustness and resilience of the built environment.
- Implementation of artificial intelligence in structural engineering and conservation.
- Asset information modelling for heritage conservation.
- Large-scale experimental testing of sustainable building materials.
- Structural health monitoring systems for historic sites.
- Digital twins.
Why Join Us?
At the University of Bath, you will be part of a vibrant academic community that fosters innovation and interdisciplinary collaboration. You will have access to state-of-the-art facilities, including laboratories equipped for large-scale testing, advanced computational tools, and a network of leading experts in the field. Our location in a UNESCO World Heritage city also provides a unique context for research in conservation and heritage.
How to Apply:
If you are interested in pursuing a PhD or Postdoctoral research in any of these areas, I encourage you to get in touch. Please send your CV, a brief cover letter outlining your research interests, and any relevant publications to ajr225@bath.ac.uk
Let's work together to advance the field of structural engineering and conservation making a lasting impact on our built cultural heritage environment!
