There are plentiful postdoctoral fellowship opportunities available at McGill. We also welcome passionate exchange students and visiting scholars to join our team. Our team offers an exciting, inclusive, and interdisciplinary research environment that provides rich opportunities for technology advancement as well as real-world applications of research.
Our lab is committed to creating new solutions for reducing the environmental impact and labor demand of building concrete infrastructure. Current projects focus on developing durable and resilient structural systems that minimize material and labor usage. Our research tools include the development and application of high-performance materials (especially Ultra-High Performance Concrete, UHPC), nonlinear finite element methods, innovative structural systems, topology optimization, and digital construction methods. I strongly encourage students or scholars who share our mission to apply.
