Meet the Engineers
The technical dissections published within this journal are authored by a collective of practicing structural engineers and architectural researchers dedicated to the study of long-span dynamics.
Dr. Aris Vancleve
Lead Structural Analyst: Specializing in kinetic roof architecture and rack-and-pinion drive tolerancing, Dr. Vancleve spent 15 years consulting on retractable spans before pivoting to academic research in structural kinematics.
Elena Rostova, P.E.
Membrane & Tensile Specialist: Elena focuses heavily on the behavior of fluoropolymers under extreme climatic stress. Her computational fluid dynamic models have shaped the passive ventilation strategies of several major arenas.
Marcus K. Thorne
Materials Scientist: Bringing a deep understanding of metallurgy, Marcus examines the fatigue lifecycles of high-strength structural nodes and the integration of carbon-fiber elements into hybrid steel canopies.
