| I am Assistant Professor for Timber Structures in the Group for Lighweight Structures at the Division of Structural Engineering at the Department for Architecture and Civil Engineering (ACE) at Chalmers. I perform research in several fields including the structural behaviour of high-performance connections, the reliability of timber structures and connections, the reinforcement of timber structures, the robustness of tall timber buildings and also circularity in timber engineering. I am a member of the international committee for the revision of Eurocode 5 CEN TC250 SC5.
My goal in research is to contribute with up-to-date knowledge and state of the art methods to the long tradition of using timber in high performance, efficient, sustainable and appealing structures in all our built environment. I don’t follow a fundamentalist “wood is good” approach but rather want to find the most suitable solutions and applications for timber and wood-based products in structures also in combination with other materials. |
