Pete obtained his PhD from the University of Cambridge in 2009 and is now a practicing engineer and R&D lead, sitting on the executive board of Expedition Engineering and the Useful Simple Trust. He played key roles in designing the pioneering ferrocement solar canopy for the Stavros Niarchos Cultural Centre in Athens and the Stockton Infinity footbridge. He was in the engineering team for the award-winning London 2012 Velodrome and has experience across a range of unusual and special structures. Pete is actively involved in a portfolio of R&D programs and strategic engineering consultancy, working with universities, industry and major infrastructure clients to deliver tangible benefits with a particular focus on cost and carbon reduction.
Tina is Senior Technical Director in COWI and has been working on international infrastructure projects for 30 years. After completing her PhD, she started her career as a structural engineer on the Great Belt Fixed Link in Denmark. A highlight in Tina's career as a bridge engineer is the record span Stonecutters Bridge in Hong Kong. Today she is responsible for technical development in COWI's international team of structural designers working on some of the largest and most complex infrastructure projects in the world. In parallel, Tina is Affiliated Professor at the Technical University of Denmark, a Board member of the COWI Foundation and active in a number of professional associations, notably the International Association for Bridge and Structural Engineering (IABSE), where she is currently serving as the President.
The International Association for Bridge and Structural Engineering (IABSE) is a scientific/ technical association comprising members in 100 countries and counting 51 National Groups worldwide.
