Short bio: Dr. Asiz is a research faculty at the Faculty of Forestry and Environmental Management. His major expertise lies in the area of structural engineering and mechanics. He has extensive research and practical experience (15 years) in conducting analysis, design, and inspection/monitoring of various engineered structures ranging from reinforced concrete and steel buildings, pre-stressed concrete bridges into timber structures. Since joining UNB in 2003, he has been actively promoting efficient and wise use of wood in various structural engineering applications. He has published more than 50 papers/technical reports in refereed journals, international conference proceedings, and government (public) domains. Currently, he is advising four doctoral students investigating performance of light-frame single and multi-storey wood structures including hybrid timber-based structures subjected to conventional and non-conventional forces. Dr. Asiz obtained his doctoral degree in civil engineering (structure and mechanics) from the University of Colorado at Boulder (USA) in 2002. His master also in civil engineering (structure and mechanics) was obtained from Colorado State University (USA) in 1998, while his bachelor degree at the same field was from Bandung Institute of Technology (Indonesia) in 1994. He is currently registered Professional Engineers in the Province of New Brunswick.
