Luís Gonçalo Correia Baltazar

Concluded his PhD in Civil Engineering in 2014 on the Rheology of Natural Hydraulic Lime Grouts for Masonry Consolidation at NOVA FCT. Since 2017, he has been a professor at the Department of Civil Engineering (DEC) of NOVA FCT. His R&D activity is focused on (i) rheology of cementitious suspensions, (ii) construction technologies for the conservation of the built heritage, (iii) smart and eco-efficient construction materials, and (iv) numerical modelling of natural ventilation and hygrothermal performance of buildings.
