Dr Matthew Gilbert, Senior Lecturer and EPSRC Advanced Research Fellow in the Department of Civil and Structural Engineering has developed a fruitful relationship with the Department of Architectural Engineering at Penn State University at the interface between Architecture and Engineering. Matthew has an interest in developing a better understanding of the behaviour of masonry structures, and also in examining the feasibility of both architects and engineers adopting novel computational design tools which can be used in new design, or in rehabilitating existing structures.
