Agnes Bezerra

Agnes Bezerra is a Lecturer in the Department of Civil Engineering at the Faculty of Engineering, University of Ottawa. She holds a Master of Applied Science (M.A.Sc.) in Civil Engineering from the University of Ottawa (2021) and a Bachelor of Science (B.Sc.) in Civil Engineering from the Catholic University of Pernambuco (2018).

• Ph.D. Student, School of Engineering Design and Teaching Innovation

Her research focuses on Materials Science, Sensors and Devices Design, Concrete Materials Engineering, and Performance-Based Design of Structures. Recent work emphasizes the integration of artificial intelligence in structural health monitoring and damage assessment for concrete infrastructure.

Agnes's publications analyze the application of machine learning algorithms to evaluate Alkali-Silica Reaction (ASR) and Aggregate Alkali Reactivity (AAR) in concrete, enabling automated diagnostics and performance-based design solutions. This aligns with broader trends in smart infrastructure monitoring and durability engineering.
