معرفی
Dr. Therese Sheehan is an Associate Professor at the School of BEACI, University of Bradford, within the Faculty of Engineering & Digital Technologies. She serves as Programme Leader for the MSc in Advanced Civil and Structural Engineering and the ICE Liaison Officer. Her expertise lies in steel and composite structures, with a focus on concrete-filled steel tubes and sustainable construction systems.
Education:
- Bachelor of Engineering (Civil and Environmental Engineering), University College Cork, 2008
- MSc in General Structural Engineering, Imperial College London, 2009
- PhD in Structural Engineering, University of Warwick (2010–2013), with roles as Research Assistant and Early Career Fellow
Research Interests: Experimental and numerical studies on steel-concrete composites, demountable systems for circular economy, geotechnical behavior of buried pipes, and sustainable materials like geopolymer concrete. She emphasizes practical applications of structural mechanics and eco-friendly construction solutions.
Recent Research Trends: Articles focus on composite beam systems, sustainable materials, and geotechnical challenges in infrastructure. Key themes include reusability of steel connections, fracture mechanics, and soil-structure interactions under cyclic loading.
Teaching & Leadership: Teaches Structural Mechanics and oversees MSc projects. Leads initiatives bridging academic research and professional engineering standards through her roles with the ICE.
Awards/Grants: None explicitly mentioned in the provided texts.
