[/if 9]

Short Bio

Gideon is Professor of Structural Engineering since 2001, registered Professional Engineer since 1993 and Fellow of the South African Institute of Civil Engineers and the South African Academy of Engineering. Since Inaugurating the Centre for Development of Sustainable Infrastructure (CDSI) in 2002, he leads research in development and modelling of new cement-based construction materials and structures, and structural, computational and durability mechanics. 3D construction printing is the current focus of the CDSI to increase productivity and sustainable employment in construction of sustainable infrastructure.
