Expertise

Steel structures, Stability, Reliability, Additive manufacturing

Profile

Trayana Tankova joined the Steel and Composite Structures Group at TU Delft in August 2022 as an assistant professor. Her research covered codification and analytical methods, reliability of design rules and their validation based on experimental tests, advanced numerical modelling in the context of member design and joint performance, and additive manufacturing using WAAM process. At TU Delft, she focuses on additive manufacturing for infrastructure and offshore applications, including topology optimisation and incorporation of data-driven prediction models.
