Description
Her current research focuses on structural health monitoring (SHM) of wooden buildings and bridges, sustainable design and composite systems, wood-soil interaction, renovation techniques for heritage wooden buildings, and optimization algorithms based on artificial neural networks (ANN) in wooden structures and materials.
Concordia University’s Wood Research Group (WRG) is evaluating the performance of concrete combined with cross-laminated timber (GC-CLT) panels for the design of environmentally friendly buildings. This research initiative aims to transform sustainable construction practices by promoting a climate-resilient built environment while simultaneously reducing carbon emissions, in line with Institut AdapT’s mission.
In addition, the island of Montreal is home to many historic and heritage buildings and bridges. As a result, the group is studying innovative renovation techniques to improve the use and lifespan of this essential infrastructure, thereby responding to the challenges posed by climate change and the housing crisis in Canada.
Don’t just coexist with climate change.
