Biography
Rob Nijsse is professor of Structural Design at the Faculty of Architecture and the Built Environment. “Much of my work consists of doing calculations and designing support structures for buildings and bridges. It's a discipline in which you're constantly working against gravity. The skeleton needs to be strong enough to withstand horizontal forces, for example pressure exerted by wind or earthquakes. The design of support structures is constantly developing. The materials used are changing all the time, so the link between theory and practice is of essential importance.
