Samar Raffoul Email & Phone Number

Dr Samar Raffoul is a Marie Sklodowska-Curie Individual Fellow at University College Dublin. In her role, Samar contributes her engineering and research expertise to assess improvements and develop refined design solutions for cold-formed steel modular frame design. In particular, she focuses on connection behaviour in modern methods of construction under accidental loading. Previously, Samar worked as a Structural Engineer at Evolusion Innovation, an expert offsite construction and manufacturing consultancy. Samar was also a KTP research associate in a collaborative role between Fusion Building Systems and Oxford Brookes University. Samar completed her PhD in Civil Engineering at the University of Sheffield, UK. She was also involved in two large European collaborative projects, namely, Anagennisi and Cost Action TU1207. Samar completed her MSc in Structural Engineering at the University of Manchester (UK) and her BSc in Civil Engineering at the University of Balamand (Lebanon). Samar’s interests include modern methods of construction, cold-formed steel and modular frame design, optimisation of structural systems, sustainable design, recycling and reuse of waste materials in construction as well as the performance of structural elements under static and cyclic loading conditions.
