The aim of Peter's research is to understand, predict and improve strength and durability of geomaterials, such as concrete, rock and soils by combining a virtual laboratory with physical testing. Peter studied Civil Engineering at the RWTH Aachen in Germany, Structural Engineering at Chalmers University of Technology in Göteborg, Sweden and was awarded a PhD in Structural Engineering at the same university. He also worked as researcher at EPFL in Lausanne, Switzerland and at Northwestern University in Evanston, USA. Email: [email protected]
