Dr. Pedro Martinez-Vazquez received his PhD from the National University of Mexico (UNAM) in 2006. He moved to the UK in 2007 following an invitation from an industrial firm which specialises in wind tunnel studies. In 2008 he was appointed Research Fellow by the School of Engineering at the University of Birmingham and in 2011 he undertook a lectureship at the University of Liverpool. In 2012 he returned to Birmingham for his current position. He has many years of experience in the construction industry. Previous to his PhD studies he participated in the design and supervision of over 50 structures located in South America and the United States. He is familiarised with building codes and engineering practices from Europe and overseas and has published more than 80 papers. His research interests are varied but include structural dynamics, fluid dynamics, wind tunnel techniques, computational modelling, artificial intelligence, image recognition techniques, and sustainability in engineering. He is keen to undertake research in other fields of science provided these have clear engineering purpose. He is a Senior Fellow of the Higher Education Academy and a Chartered Engineer.
