معرفی
Landolf Rhode-Barbarigos is an Associate Professor at the University of Miami's College of Engineering and serves as the Graduate Program Director for Civil, Architectural, and Environmental Engineering. He leads the Coastal Architecture, Structural Engineering (CASE) Lab, focusing on structural morphology and morphogenesis for coastal, marine, and space structures through numerical simulations and physical modeling. His work integrates STEAM principles for sustainable design.
- Education: PhD in Structural Engineering (focus inferred from academic role)
His research emphasizes climate resilience, eco-engineered coastal protection systems like SEAHIVE™ and ECoREEF, combining structural optimization with biocompatibility through material science and geometric innovation. Projects span multi-hazard mitigation (storm surge, flooding) and interdisciplinary NSF-funded work on tensegrity structures.
Scientific awards include:
- 2025: UM Graduate School Outstanding Graduate Program Director
- 2023: Florida ASEMFL Rising Stars
Key grants include NSF CAREER funding for tensegrity structure optimization (2023) and U-LINK collaboration for hybrid reef restoration (2023). Media highlights include TEDx presentations and RE:TV feature on SEAHIVE™.
