Dr. Gili Lifshitz Sherzer received her PhD from Ben-Gurion University of the Negev (BGU) in 2019. Her research was to develop a computational technology for numerical simulation of concrete structures. Toward achieving this goal, her specific scientific objective was to formulate, calibrate, validate multi-scale models and up-scaling methodology. In addition, during her PhD she served as an external lecturer and teacher assistant. Currently she is a Postdoctoral research fellow at the University of Toronto under supervision of Professors Giovanni Grasselli and Karl Peterson. Her research interest is on predicting reinforced concrete material behavior under extreme loading conditions.
