Brief biographical note
Tiago Miguel Ferreira was born on March 15, 1986, in Coimbra, Portugal. Raised in Leiria, city where he lived until 2004 when he moved to Aveiro to graduate in Civil Engineering from University of Aveiro (2008). In July 2009, Tiago completed a MSc degree and started working as research fellow in a joint project with University of Aveiro, University of Coimbra and Seixal City Council, dedicated to the risk assessment of the old urban centres of Seixal. Such experience has reinforced his interest in the rehabilitation of architectural heritage from the point of view of mitigating urban risks and in December 2010 he earned a degree in Advanced Studies in Rehabilitation of Built Heritage from FEUP. After a brief period at ROSE School, Italy, to attend a short course on Seismic Design, Assessment and Strengthening of Masonry Structures, he started his PhD works in February 2011 under the topic of the out-of-plane seismic performance of stone masonry walls, which were concluded and unanimously approved with praise and distinction in January 2015. From October 2015 to September 2016 he worked as postdoctoral researcher at the Aveiro research centre of RIsks and Sustainability in COnstruction (RISCO) and in October 2016 he moved University of Minho to join the The Institute for Sustainability and Innovation in Structural Engineering (ISISE) where he presently works as a Post-doc researcher, funded by the Portuguese Foundation for Science and Technology (FCT). Since January 2018, he is also invited Assistant Professor at the Department of Civil Engineering of the University of Coimbra. In May 2018, Tiago Miguel Ferreira was appointed as Editor-in-Chief of GeoHazards, a multidisciplinary journal published by MDPI, and Associate Editor of Conservar Património, a SCOPUS and Web-of-Science indexed journal dedicated to heritage studies.
