Gabi Bertram holds the position of University Lecturer in the Department of the Built Environment at Eindhoven University of Technology. Their research focuses on masonry materials and structural components, particularly investigating the mechanical properties and long-term behavior of clay bricks, cement mortars, and masonry joints under various environmental and hardening conditions.

Key research topics include material hardening processes, outdoor exposure effects on brick masonry, and the mechanical performance of calcium silicate TL-mortar. Bertram has contributed to academic conferences such as the North American Masonry Conference and the International Masonry Conference, publishing peer-reviewed works on topics like masonry cement mortar prisms and structural node design. They teach courses including BAU Studio 1/2, Dimensioning of Structures, and Practical Assignments in Construction Science at TU Eindhoven.
