Rozalina Dimitrova

Rozalina Dimitrova is a Professor in the Department of Civil Engineering at the University of Ottawa, affiliated with the Faculty of Engineering. She holds a P.Eng. (Ontario) and advanced degrees including a Ph.D. in Geotechnical Engineering from Western University (Ontario), two M.Sc.Eng. degrees (Lakehead University and Sofia, Bulgaria), and a B.Sc. in Civil Engineering from Sofia, Bulgaria.

• Education:
• B.Sc., Civil Engineering, University of Civil Engineering and Architecture, Sofia, Bulgaria
• M.Sc.Eng., Hydrotechnical Engineering, Sofia, Bulgaria
• M.Sc.Eng., Environmental Engineering, Lakehead University
• Ph.D., Geotechnical Engineering, Western University

Her research focuses on geotechnical engineering, soil mechanics, rock mechanics, and mine waste management. Key areas include the behavior of mine tailings under varying environmental conditions and stress regimes, as well as physico-chemical interactions in geotechnical systems. Her work emphasizes applications in environmental loading and erosion modeling.

Dr. Dimitrova’s publications from 2007–2012 explore mine tailings mechanics, semiconductor anion electrodes, and geotechnical systems. Recent work (2010–2012) prioritizes mine tailings behavior under low-stress conditions and drainage dynamics, while earlier studies (2007–2008) investigate semiconductor-based anion selective electrodes.

No scientific awards are explicitly listed. She has taught at Western University and Lakehead University, and her professional experience includes geotechnical engineering practice in Ontario.
