Carlos Rodrigo Ribas González

Dr. Carlos Rodrigo Ribas González is a Professor of Construction Engineering at the University of the Balearic Islands (UIB), where he teaches in the Degree in Building Engineering and the Master's Degree in Industrial Engineering. With a PhD in Construction Engineering from the Polytechnic University of Catalonia (2013), he has progressively advanced from associate professor (2008) to his current position as full professor (since 2020).

• PhD in Construction Engineering, Polytechnic University of Catalonia (2013)
• Architect, Palma (Mallorca)

Dr. Ribas focuses on construction technologies from a structural perspective, with emphasis on smart materials (particularly shape memory alloys), precast and prestressed concrete systems, and the energy performance of buildings. His work bridges theoretical structural engineering with practical construction applications, aiming to develop innovative solutions for modern construction challenges.

His publications primarily focus on structural concrete behavior, shear strength analysis, and the application of smart materials in construction. The research shows a clear progression from fundamental structural analysis to innovative applications of shape memory alloys, reflecting his evolving research interests toward more advanced material applications in structural engineering.

Dr. Ribas has collaborated on two national research programs and engaged in technology transfer with various companies in the Balearic Islands. He has supervised numerous final degree and master's projects, though specific student names are not provided in the available information.

He is a member of the 'ConStruct' (Construction Engineering and Structures), a consolidated R&D group at UIB, where he contributes to research on structural engineering and construction technologies.
