Proceedings of the Canadian Society for Civil Engineering Annual Conference 2023, Volume 2: General Track

Dr. Serge Desjardins is Associate Professor and interim Chair of the Civil Engineering Department at the Université de Moncton. Holding a Ph.D. in Civil Engineering (Structures) from Carleton University, his research focuses on structural health monitoring using long-term vibration responses and automated operational modal analysis. As a member of the Ottawa-Carleton Bridge Research Institute, he has contributed to advancing vibration-based monitoring techniques, notably for the Confederation Bridge. Serge is Fellow of the Canadian Society for Civil Engineering; he is a long-serving executive member of the local CSCE section (Eastern NB) and has served as the faculty advisor of the CSCE student chapter for the past decade and as the faculty advisor to the CSCE concrete canoe team since 2021. Serge has more than 20 years of combined academic and industry experience. His industry experience includes working as structural design engineer on projects like the Ottawa International Airport expansion, the Croix-Bleue Medavie Stadium on the Université de Moncton campus, and several bridge rehabilitation and replacement projects in New-Brunswick.

Dr. Gérard J. Poitras is Professor in the Civil Engineering Department and Dean of the Faculty of Engineering at the Université the Moncton. He completed his Doctorate studies in Engineering Sciences at the Université de Poitiers, France in 2002. His research interest includes wind-structure interaction, optimization of structures and dynamics of structures. He has more than 40 years of combined academic and industry experience in structural engineering. Professor Poitras is Fellow of Engineers Canada, Fellow of the Canadian Society for Civil Engineering (CSCE), and a past chair of the Canadian Society for Civil Engineers South-East NB section. In 2009, he received the Université de Moncton Award of Excellence in Teaching, and in 2014, the Outstanding Educator Award from the Association of Professional Engineers and Geoscientist of New Brunswick.

Dr. Serge Desjardins 是蒙克頓大學土木工程系的副教授及代理系主任。他擁有卡爾頓大學土木工程（結構）博士學位，研究重點在於利用長期振動反應和自動化操作模態分析進行結構健康監測。作為渥太華-卡爾頓橋樑研究所的成員，他對振動基礎監測技術的進步做出了貢獻，特別是對於聯邦橋的研究。Serge 是加拿大土木工程學會的會士；他是當地 CSCE 分會（東新不倫瑞克）的長期執行委員，並在過去十年擔任 CSCE 學生分會的教職顧問，自 2021 年以來擔任 CSCE 混凝土獨木舟隊的教職顧問。Serge 擁有超過 20 年的學術和產業經驗。他的產業經驗包括擔任結構設計工程師，參與渥太華國際機場擴建、蒙克頓大學校園的 Croix-Bleue Medavie 體育場以及新不倫瑞克省的多個橋樑修復和更換項目。

Dr. Gérard J. Poitras 是蒙克頓大學土木工程系的教授及工程學院院長。他於 2002 年在法國普瓦捷大學完成工程科學博士學位。其研究興趣包括風-結構互動、結構優化及結構動力學。他在結構工程領域擁有超過 40 年的學術和產業經驗。Poitras 教授是加拿大工程師協會的會士，加拿大土木工程學會（CSCE）的會士，並曾擔任加拿大土木工程師東南新不倫瑞克分會的主席。2009 年，他獲得蒙克頓大學卓越教學獎，2014 年則獲得新不倫瑞克省專業工程師及地質科學家協會的傑出教育者獎。
