Cristiano Loss
Dr. Cristiano Loss holds an Associate Chair in Wood Building Design and Construction at the University of British Columbia (UBC). Dr. Loss received his M.Sc. in Civil Engineering and Ph.D. in Engineering of Civil and Mechanical Structural Systems from the University of Trento (Italy), and worked as a post-doctoral fellow and instructor in integrated wood engineering at the same University. Before joining the UBC Department of Wood Science, Faculty of Forestry, Dr. Loss worked with the Wood Design Engineering Research Group at the University of Northern British Columbia, and other Research Labs in Europe. Dr. Loss is an expert in high-performance wood-based systems and performance-based optimum design procedures for the development of cost-effective safer mid- to high-rise buildings under extreme events. Throughout his career, he was involved in many R&D industrial projects, as well as in research projects funded by the Italian Civil Protection Department and the interuniversity consortium ‘Laboratories University Network of Seismic Engineering.’ His work gained international recognition, publishing extensively in peer-reviewed journals and conference proceedings, as well as providing practitioners with several research reports and manuals. He was a member of the Italian group for developing the Italian seismic design guidelines for timber structures. As a member of the Canadian Standard Association technical committee CSA-O86 "Engineering design in wood" he is currently involved in the development of the next generation Canadian timber standard. He also holds two patents.
