Third Postgrad to join ACORN

Mishael is joining the ACORN team to research a PhD under the supervision of John Orr at the University of Cambridge. His main research interest centres around the implementation of low-carbon, thin-shell elements in buildings to reduce material inefficiencies. His postgraduate work is being funded by the William & Margaret Brown Cambridge International Scholarship.

Mishael graduated from the Engineering Science program from the University of Toronto in 2020. His undergraduate research work focused on the shear behaviour and finite element modelling of concrete elements. During his placement year, Mishael worked at Arup in both the Toronto and London office as a structural engineering intern as well as a digital intern, focusing on interoperability of data in the AEC industry.

Welcome to the team Mishael!
