Dr. Filip Ljubinkovic, an Assistant Researcher at the University of Coimbra, specializes in Steel and Composite Structures. He completed his PhD with distinction in 2021 and has since made significant contributions to the field of structural engineering, particularly focusing on the stability of steel plates and connections. His work integrates advanced computational methods and AI to enhance design processes and structural analyses. His educational background includes a Master's degree in Civil Engineering from the University of Belgrade and a European master's in steel structures from the universities of Luleå, Naples, and Coimbra. He has actively participated in several consultancy projects and over 10 national and European research projects, including CONNECT4C, where he serves as the Executive Coordinator. An acclaimed researcher, he received the John Henry Garrod King Medal from the British Institution of Civil Engineers (ICE) in 2022 for his influential work on steel bridge design rules, now incorporated in EN 1993-2. He has authored over 20 peer-reviewed articles, including an ECCS Report N. 144, and holds three international patents in modular construction. Deeply involved in technical standards development, he serves as the convenor of the CEN/TC250/SC3 Ad-hoc Group on AI Design of Steel Structures and is a member of several other technical committees, including CEN/TC250/SC3 WG5, CEN/TC250/SC3 WG22, ECCS/TWG8.3, and the Portuguese Technical Committee for Steel Structures (CT115/SC3). He is also a member of the Portuguese Steelwork Association (CMM) and has participated in over 15 national and international conferences, serving as a scientific committee member at several of them. Dr. Ljubinkovic teaches courses on steel structures and has supervised five PhD students and four Master's students, demonstrating his dedication to advancing both academic and professional practices in civil engineering.
