Background
Dr Lőrincz is a Lecturer in Construction Science at the School of Built Environment.
His teaching focuses on both innovative and traditional construction materials, including timbre, masonry, cementitious and non-cementitious composites, and advanced repair materials. He specializes in experimental testing and computational modelling (utilizing tools like RFEM 6) to investigate the mechanics, durability, and resilience of structures and infrastructure built with these materials. Additionally, he has a keen interest in energy demand management and renewable energy solutions.
If you are passionate about research and interested in pursuing a PhD in any of these fields, please do not hesitate to reach out.
