My research focuses on construction solutions for industrial buildings, particularly associated with the coupled structural performance between the building envelope and the supporting structure.
Ultimately, I want to be able to produce a set of recommendations for the building industry that are trialled and tested – so that they are known to work. That’s where Brookes’ structural laboratory comes in. It enables me to carry out experimental work, to see how materials behave, how computer-generated models work in real life, and to conduct experiments to test my theories.”
