Graça Vasconcelos (Orcid ID: 0000-0001-6201-0552; Scopus ID: 23399035000) graduated in Civil Engineering from the Faculty of Engineering of the University of Porto and holds a PhD in Civil Engineering (research field of masonry structures) from University of Minho and presently she is Associate Professor at University of Minho. She develops her research mainly in the area of masonry structures and historical built heritage, with a focus on the experimental analyses of masonry materials and structural analysis of masonry. She has more than 70 publications in international journals (ISI Web of Science/Scopus), configuring an H-index of 29, with 2730 citations (Scopus), and more than 150 publications in national and international conference proceedings. In addition, She co-edited 6 books and published more than 20 book chapters. She has been also involved in several national and international founded research projects focused in the advances on the analysis of masonry structures (18), having 5 projects where it has performed coordination functions (3 as responsible researcher (IR) and 3 as responsible in UMinho in partnership). She has been keeping a regular activity in doctoral thesis orientation (10 completed and 6 ongoing thesis) and master thesis (45 completed and 1 ongoing).
