Post-Doc, Civil and Structural Engineering
About
Dr Canh Le is currently employed as a Postdoctoral Research Associate in the Department of Civil and Structural Engineering at the University of Sheffield. His current research is focussed on multiscale modelling techniques for dynamic problems in collaboration with Prof. Harm Askes and Dr Inna Gitman. He gained his PhD in Computational Mechanics from the University of Sheffield in 2010 after obtaining his MSc degree in Mechanics of Constructions from University of Liege and HCMC University of Technology in 2004.
