Biography
Luca Sorelli is a structural engineer and, as of 2009, a full professor in the Civil Engineering Department at Université Laval. Previously, he worked as an engineer in the structural durability division at IFSTTAR (Paris), in the civil engineering department at MIT (Cambridge) and at the Lafarge research center (Lyon). His research interests include: (i) multi-scale approach for the development of cementitious composites, e.g. ecological UHPC concretes with by-products from local industry; (ii) technology for monitoring and repairing structures with waterproof and ultra-durable UHPC reinforcement layers; (iii) numerical analysis, design and optimization of composite structures for architectural and civil engineering applications. As an expert, he has consulted on several UHPC engineering structures in France and Canada.
