Personal profile
Overview
I am Dr Hector U. Levatti, an Associate Professor in Civil Engineering at London South Bank University. I have worked at the School of the Built Environment and Architecture since February 2017. I have been the Course Leader of the BEng (Hons) Civil Engineering Course at BEA, LSBU since 2018 and until 2023.
I am an EPSRC Peer Reviewer College Member and a former EPSRC Engineering Early Career Forum member. I am a PhD, MSc, and Senior Fellow in Higher Education (SFHEA) and a graduate member of ICE.
Research Interests
I have received my degree in Construction Engineering from the Universidad Nacional del Nordeste (UNNE), in Argentina, in 1999; my Master of Science in Numerical Methods from Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya (UPC) in Spain, in 2010; and my Ph.D. in Geotechnical Engineering from UPC, in Spain, in 2015. I have recognized my degree in Construction Engineering from Argentina in Spain with the Technical Civil Engineering degree from 2005. I am a Civil Engineer in Spain after obtaining my degree in Civil Engineering from UPC in 2013. I have been recognized for my qualifications by the Institution of Civil Engineers (ICE) and the Institution of Mechanical Engineers (IMechE) in the UK.
I have worked in Argentina in a self-employment initiative, first in the 90s, doing architectural and structural design for buildings, as well as in Education at the UNNE, Faculty of Engineering (1999-2001) teaching structures, and later in the private sector (2000-2003) in Education and in the Construction Industry doing Structural Analysis and Designs.
After moving to Europe in 2004, I was working in research and teaching, mainly, in Geotechnical Engineering and Strength of Materials respectively, in the UPC, Spain (2004-2012). From 2012 until 2016, I was working as a project officer in the project ASTUTE (Advanced Sustainable Manufacturing Technologies) and ASTUTE 2020 at Swansea University doing Structural Analysis and Optimisation.
While I have been involved in several multidisciplinary research projects in my career, my research interests lie mainly in the areas of Geotechnical Engineering, Numerical Methods, Structural Analysis and Design, Structural Optimisation, Manufacturing Technologies, Education, Artificial Intelligence, and Robotics in Construction.
