Biography
Dr Marina Bock is a Lecturer in Civil Engineering in the School of Architecture and Built Environment at the University of Wolverhampton engaged in teaching and research activities since 2017. Marina Bock completed her studies in Civil Engineering at the Polytechnic University of Catalonia, Barcelona in 2010, where she also started working as a PhD researcher. After completing her PhD in Structural Engineering in 2015, she moved to the UK as a structural engineer for AECOM and carried out inspection, assessment and design of various structures. She has also acquired industry experience working for Tata Steel R&D in the Structural Design and Integrity group leading research projects to develop steel products for residential applications and investigating the structural response of honeycomb sandwich panels. Her principal research interests, in respect of which she has co-authored more than 10 journal articles and conference contributions, lie in the areas of structural testing, numerical modelling and the development of design approaches for steel and stainless steel structures. She has been involved in European and national funded research projects that have led to valuable contributions for designing with steel alloys. Marina received a Special Award by the Polytechnic University of Catalonia in 2017 for her research contributions. Marina Bock is also a general member of the Institution of Civil Engineers (ICE).
