معرفی
Dianne van Hove is an Assistant Professor in the Department of the Built Environment at Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e). Her research focuses on material-related structural engineering, including steel, composite, and aluminum structures, with specialization in thin-walled cross-sections, connectors, and shear connections. She has contributed to Eurocode 4 design rules through studies on headed stud connectors and composite beam deflection. Her work often combines experimental and numerical methods, particularly for the steel and aluminum industries. She teaches courses such as Advanced Steel and Aluminum Structures and Structural Design.
Academic Background: MSc in Architecture, Building and Planning (1988), followed by roles as a research assistant at TU/e and scientist at TNO Bouw. Appointed as Assistant Professor in Aluminum Structures (2008) and later expanded to Steel and Aluminum Structures (2012).
Research Interests: Applied research in structural engineering, optimization of large-span structures, and functional/structural building design. Active in committees like Inalco Scientific Committee and Dutch TC11 (Technical Committee on composite steel-concrete structures).
Teaching: Courses include Advanced Steel and Aluminum Structures, Steel Structures and Applied Mechanics, and Dimensioning of Structures. Supervises research projects in structural engineering and building physics.
Labs/Groups: Involved with the Aluminium Structures and Steel Structures research groups at TU/e.
