DESCRIPTION:Dr. Mauro Overend\nDr. Mauro Overend is Senior Lecturer in Bui
 lding Engineering Design at the University of Cambridge. Currently\, Dr. M
 auro Overend is visiting professor at ICOM Steel Structures Laboratory and
  will provide a seminar on the most recent research developments achieved 
 by his Glass & Façade Technology Research Group at the University of Camb
 ridge.\nThe presentation will start with a brief overview of the most rece
 nt developments across a range of on-going research projects within the Gl
 ass & Façade Technology Research Group. The projects are broadly grouped 
 into two themes: Transparent Structures and Smart Skins. They range from p
 ost-fracture performance of glass to multi-objective design optimisation o
 f facades.     \nThe presentation will go on to provide a further lev
 el of detail on a cluster of related projects in the group on Engineered C
 omposite Glass. In which glass is used compositely with other materials to
  enhance its performance.Short introduction Dr. Mauro Overend:\nMauro Over
 end has a first degree in Engineering and Architecture\, a masters degree 
 in structural engineering and a PhD in structural glass. He is a chartered
  engineer and prior to moving to returning to academia worked for eight ye
 ars in structural and façade engineering\, where he led multi-disciplinar
 y teams on building projects in the UK and overseas. He currently leads th
 e Glass & Facade Technology Research Group at the University of Cambridge 
 which undertakes research on the structural and environmental performance 
 of glass and building envelope systems. Mauro has more than 40 peer-review
 ed publications to his credit and he serves on several national and intern
 ational committees related to glass and façade engineering. In recognitio
 n of his research on glass and façade engineering he was he was awarded t
 he 2011 Guthrie-Brown medal by the Institution of Structural Engineers and
  the 2013 IABSE Prize by the International Association of Bridge and Struc
 tural Engineers.\nThe seminar will be held Friday 29th of August at 11:00 
 in room GC B3 30.
