Bio/Research
I am from a small town in northern Ontario. After graduating from the University of Western Ontario in 1977 (civil engineering), I went on to Princeton University to complete a master's degree in structures and mechanics. Then in 1979, I joined Arctec Canada Limited (now Fleet Technology) in Ottawa and worked for Arctec in both Ottawa and Calgary. Artcec was an applied engineering research company specializing in arctic marine and offshore engineering. In 1989, I was posted to Helsinki in a collaborative research project between Canada and Finland. During three years in Helsinki, I obtained a doctorate of technology in the area of ice mechanics and arctic naval architecture. Then, in 1995 I joined Memorial University.
From 1982-89 I worked on the development of the latest Canadian Arctic Shipping Pollution Prevention Regulations. During the 1990's until now I have worked on the new international Unified Requirements for polar ship construction, being developed by the International Association of Classification Societies in conjunction with many national governments (including Canada). That work has guided and informed most of my research activities. My current research focuses on ice mechanics and ice loads on ships; plastic strength and design of ship structures; concepts for rational ship structural design regulations; structural risk; and related matters.
