个人简介
Ana Bras is a Civil Engineer, CEng, FICE, PhD, with 18 years of experience in R&D and Consultancy on bio-based solutions for buildings and structures. She is a Reader (Associate Professor) in Bio-materials for infrastructure at the Department of Civil Engineering and Built Environment, Liverpool John Moores University (UK). Dr Bras is an Expert, Evaluator and Reviewer at European Commission (Horizon Europe, H2020), EPSRC and National Research Agency (ANR) - Sustainable solutions for infrastructure sector, responsible for the analysis of proposals with a total budget of more than 200million €.
By combining civil engineering, materials and microbiology expertise, Dr Bras established a research group on bio-based materials to increase infrastructure durability (cement and earth-based) through self-healing, making it more resilient to water environments with low carbon solutions, in line with energy infrastructure needs. The work enabled Dr Bras to create a novel laboratory on low carbon self-healing techniques for green infrastructure. This is a huge driver for sustainability.
Dr Ana Bras has been nominated as chair of an international committee looking to find solutions to climate challenges across the whole chain of construction: https://www.rilem.net/groupe/bec-bio-stabilised-earth-based-construction-performance-approach-for-better-resilience-447
Dr Ana Bras will lead the group of scientists and engineers to recommend ways the industry can better serve both people and planet.
She is specialised in:
- Engineering characterisation of cement and earth-based construction materials with bio-based solutions (including with bio-fibres, bio-ashes and bacteria-based solutions): electro-chemistry tests, hydro-mechanical tests, hygro-thermal tests.
-Testing (on site and lab-based) in different aggressive environments.
-Computational modelling of service life of structures for durability analysis - performance-based design.
-Evaluate the project sustainability with structural carbon tools (cradle to gate and operational levels) for buildings and structures.
