A.J.Reis became a?Civil Engineer?at IST University of Lisbon in 1972 and obtained his Ph.D?at the University of Waterloo in Canada in 1977. He was Science Research Fellow at the University of Surrey, UK,?and?Professor of Bridges and Structural Engineering at the University of Lisbon for more than 35 years.?Reis was also?Invited Professor at EPFL Lausanne Switzerland in 2013 and 2015. In 1980, he established his own design office GRID where he?is currently?Technical Director. The academic and design experience were always combined in developing and supervising research studies? and innovative design aspects in the field of steel and concrete bridges, cable stayed bridges, long span roofs? and stability of steel structures.
