Professor Brian Broderick is a Professor in Civil, Structural and Environmental Engineering. He has served as Associate Dean of Research in Trinity College,  Head of Department, School Director of Postgraduate Teaching and Learning, School Director of Global Engagement, and Academic Programme Director and Vice President of Unitech International.

His expertise lies in the integrated mathematical-information modelling of complex systems and the use of experimental data in the development of modelling tools that support design innovation. His research aims to improve protection of civil society by studying interactions between engineered systems and natural processes in the built environment, including the structural response of buildings during earthquakes and the effects of anthropogenic emissions on urban air quality. His teaching embraces structural, environmental and design engineering.

His research has been funded through successive research grants from several national and international agencies, including leadership of multi-partner, multi-project European and national research programmes. He has supervised more than 20 PhD students and published over 200 peer-reviewed research papers in fora that reach both scientific and professional engineering communities. He is a PI and member of the Steering Committee of Construct Innovate, Ireland’s National Construction Technology Centre, and a founding member of the Editorial Board of Structures, the research journal of the Institution of Structural Engineers. He acted as external expert to An Bord Pleanala for four strategic waste-to-energy infrastructure developments, and has been a long-standing member of TC250/SC8, the CEN committee responsible for earthquake-resistance and protection in Europe.

He holds undergraduate and postgraduate degrees in Civil Engineering from University College Dublin and a PhD from Imperial College London. He was awarded the Unwin Prize by Imperial College London, the Oscar Faber Medal by the Institution of Structural Engineers, and the Haagen Smit Prize by the journal Atmospheric Environment. He is a Fellow of Trinity College Dublin and a recipient of the Trinity Global Engagement Award.

Research Expertise

The central objective of my research is protection " of the built environment, of human health and of climate. I protect civil society by studying interactions between engineered and natural systems. Hence, my key research projects have developed improved methods for protecting buildings and their occupants during earthquakes, for protecting the health of individuals from exposure to air pollution and for protecting the climate through renewable energy production. My primary research approach is the integrated mathematical-information modelling of complex systems, especially the effects of environmental loads (earthquake and wind) on engineering structures, and the effects of anthropogenic emissions (e.g. road transport) on air quality. My research is highly multidisciplinary, and I have achieved research breakthroughs by exchanging ideas and methods between diverse fields. Hence my research spans disciplines from atmospheric scienceg to solid mechanics, and the research methods I employ include computational modelling, numerical simulation, experimental investigation and engineering design. I have collaborated and published with researchers from a wide variety of fields including engineers, environmental scientists, physicists, economists, clinicians, health scientists and seismologists. My research strengths in integrating information about real world processes with physical theory based mathematical models have allowed me to transform conventional approaches to globally important activities and achieve real impact through the generation of knowledge alongside my contributions to broader society. My research has made a unique and substantive contribution to a wide field and has had a high impact on policies and practices supporting societal protection, sustainable development, and economic efficiency. The main pathway for these contributions has been through the development of modelling tools that support innovation. For example, I have developed advanced air quality forecasting models to protect the health of vulnerable people, promoted renewable energy by creating methods for the simulation of the dynamic response of wind turbines, and extended urban resilience by improving the design of earthquake-resistant building structures. I have a sustained track-record of research achievement, having been awarded major research grants from several national (e.g. IRC, EPA) and international programmes (e.g. EU FP5-7, H2020), and maintained substantial research teams (PhD students, postdoctoral researchers and PIs) for over two decades. I have led multi-partner, multi-project European and national research programmes in more than one topic. I have published widely in fora that reach both scientific and professional engineering communities. As evidence of research leadership, I led the formation of the consortium recently awarded the National Construction Technology Centre by Enterprise Ireland. The lead PIs in all the other universities in this consortium completed their PhDs under my supervision or within our research group at Trinity. With initial platform funding of €5m, `ConstructInnovate" will contemporise the Irish construction industry. In the field of air quality, in which there had been almost no research activity before I joined Trinity, I have founded and led a research group that has published over 100 journal articles and won over €10M in research grants. As Associate Dean of Research and PI on the CHARM-EU TORCH project I am developing new University policies and strategies in Responsible Research and Innovation to ensure that Trinity remains at the forefront of European research practice.
