FEUP researcher will maintain a reference journal on engineering and applied sciences

Jose Antonio Correiaresearcher Institute for Research and Development in Structural and Construction (CONSTRUCT) as well as University of Porto Faculty of Engineering (FEUP) It’s from Institute of Science and Innovation in Mechanical Engineering and Industrial Construction (INEGI)recently appointed co-editor of the civil engineering department Alexandria Engineering Journal (Elsevier), the leading journal in engineering and applied sciences.

“I am honored to be part of a journal in which distinguished world-class professors and researchers participate as members of the editorial board, and at the same time to be recognized for my contributions to the fields of materials and engineering structures. I also express my gratitude to the institutions in which I work for the support and availability of the necessary funds for the development of my research activities and cooperation with the industry,” says the researcher.

Bye co-editorf, José Antonio Correia will have primary responsibility for managing submissions from the civil engineering academic community, putting them into the review and final decision process.

Scientific research and recognition

Since 2019, José Antonio Correia has been ranked among the top 2% most cited scientists in the world by Stanford University, having recently won the award. 2021 IGF Manson-Coffin Medal. He was also considered one of the most influential academics in the world during the period 2015-2021 in several scientific areas of fatigue such as SN curves, fatigue models applied to materials and structural parts, accumulated damage, metal bridges and structures. connections.

Most recently, the EFUP researcher was appointed co-chair of the European Structural Integrity Society (ESIS) TC3 Technical Committee – Fatigue of Engineering Materials and Structures, a body on which he already served as Chairman of the TC12 Technical Committee – Safety and Risk Analysis of Large Structures and Structural Parts. In addition, he acted as an evaluator of European project proposals.

José Antonio Correia has also accumulated extensive experience in positions related to scientific publications in the field of engineering structures. Member of the editorial board of the journal International Journal of Fatigue (worldwide reference journal in the field of fatigue of engineering materials and structures) since January last year, is also the current Journal co-editor Smart infrastructure and constructionShe is working on this role with Noha Saleb, a professor at Middlesex University in London, United Kingdom.

In addition, he is the founder and current co-editor of Structural Integrity – Series (Springer), together with Abilio De Jesus, Professor of the Department of Mechanical Engineering of the FEUP, Editor-in-Chief of the Journal Department MDPI simulationmagazine editor Open study materials (F1000-Taylor & Francis), e Make editor-in-chief International Journal of Structural Integrity (Emerald).

Most recently, José Correia became a member of the editorial board Philosophical works A – Engineering sciences (Royal Society) e Technical failure analysis (Elsevier).

With a research activity “divided” between CONSTRUCT and INEGI, José Antonio Correia also teaches at the Faculty of Science and Technology of the University of Coimbra, at the University of Tras os Montes e Alto Douro (UTAD), as well as at the Department of Constructions of the Faculty of Civil Engineering and Geosciences Delft University of Technology (Netherlands).

At FEUP, he is also co-coordinator, along with Professor Rui Calzada, of the Hyperloop-Verne project recently approved by the MIT Portugal program. The researcher has been co-coordinator of several research and university projects in the field of structural integrity, fatigue and failure of materials, engineering details and structures.

He also holds several honorary positions at the invitation of university institutions around the world such as Xi’an Jiaotong University (China), where he is an Associate Professor, or NIT Silchar (India) and Universidade Estadual Paulista (UNESP, Brazil), where he is an Invited professor.
