Graduate research opportunities (MSc and PhD)
Students interested in conducting research on structural masonry, reinforced-concrete, bridge engineering, seismic engineering, advanced materials, and structural simulation using the finite-element method are invited to apply. Please send the following material in a single PDF file to cruznogu [at] ualberta.ca:
Please notice that while all applications are considered, only candidates selected for an interview will be contacted.
The following projects are examples of our lines of research:
Masonry loadbearing walls (out-of-plane): buckling, second-order effects, design, modelling
Masonry shear walls (in-plane): shear strength, ductility, modelling, effect of openings
Strut-and-tie models for masonry elements
Numerical simulation of structures (commercial and research-oriented software: SAP2000, OpenSEES, VecTor2, Ansys, ABAQUS, LS-Dyna).
Reinforced concrete elements (walls, coupling beams, slabs)
Steel-fibre reinforced concrete and grout.
Engineered Cementitious Composites
Multilayered shell/plate elements for analysis of RC/masonry membranes
If you have any question about the type of project you would like to participate in, or about funding availability, please feel free to contact me at cruznogu [at] ualberta.ca. Please include CV and transcripts in your email.
Students with a research proposal related to reinforced masonry will be given priority.
Full Scholarships for Students from Brazil, Mexico, Colombia, and Chile
Through special agreements between these countries and the UofA, full scholarships are available to pursue Masters and Doctoral programs at the University of Alberta. If you are a national from these countries and are interested in topics of structural engineering, reinforced masonry, reinforced concrete, structural simulation, seismic engineering, innovative materials, bridge engineering, and high-performance composites, please explore the websites below and/or send an email to cruznogu [at] ualberta.ca.
