ALBERT CABANÉ CAÑAS

Dr. Albert Cabané Cañas is a postdoctoral researcher at the School of Civil Engineering of the Technical University of Catalonia (UPC-BarcelonaTech), where he has been working since 2023. He holds a Ph.D. in Construction Engineering from UPC-BarcelonaTech and a degree in Architecture from the School of Architecture of Barcelona (ETSAB).

His academic background includes two Erasmus + exchange programs: one at IUAV University of Venice in 2011 and another at the Italian Ministry of Culture (MiBACT) in the Venetian Lagoon in 2015, where he undertook an international internship focused on heritage-related activities.

His research is centered on the experimental mechanical characterization of masonry, both in laboratory settings and through in-situ testing using minor destructive techniques (MDT) and non-destructive techniques (NDT). He has contributed to the development and standardization of procedures for the mechanical assessment of solid clay bricks.

Dr. Cabané is a member of the International Scientific Committee on the Analysis and Restoration of Structures of the Architectural Heritage (ISCARSAH), the RILEM Technical Committee on Testing Methods for Masonry Cores (TC CTM), and the International Masonry Society (IMS), participating in collaborative efforts to advance the field of masonry research and conservation engineering.
