Great Professor!
Emeritus Professor Adrian Page is affiliated with the School of Engineering (Civil Engineering) at the University of Newcastle, Australia, where he holds emeritus status. He obtained his Bachelor of Engineering with honours from the University of New South Wales in 1965 and his Doctor of Philosophy from the University of Newcastle. His career appointments at the University include Professor from 1992 to 1996 and continued service in the Faculty of Engineering and Built Environment until 1997 and beyond, leading to his recognition as an internationally acclaimed researcher.
Professor Page specializes in civil and structural engineering, with research interests in structural analysis, finite element modeling, earthquake engineering, finite element analysis, masonry structures, and concrete. He leads the Masonry Research Group within the Centre for Infrastructure Performance and Reliability (CIPAR) and is renowned for contributions to pure and applied research in structural masonry, particularly following the 1989 Newcastle earthquake, which informed amendments to the Australian Masonry Structures Code AS3700, as explored in his paper 'The Newcastle Earthquake and the Masonry Structures Code AS3700'. With 77 publications garnering over 2,500 citations, key works include 'A study of bond mechanisms in masonry' (2026), 'Investigations of the bond wrench method of testing masonry' (2026), 'Experimental testing of unreinforced lattice masonry walls subjected to out-of-plane pressure loading' (2020), 'Temperature versus energy based approaches in the thermal assessment of buildings' (2017), 'Discrepancies in Peak Temperature Times using Prolonged CFD Simulations of Housing Thermal Performance' (2017), 'Thermal Assessment of Buildings Based on Occupants Behavior and the Adaptive Thermal Comfort Approach' (2017), and 'Nonlinear finite element modelling of unreinforced masonry walls with openings subjected to in-plane shear' (2017). His impact extends to advancing knowledge on masonry bond strength, seismic performance of unreinforced masonry, and thermal efficiency in buildings. Honors include Fellow of the Academy of Technological Sciences and Engineering, Fellow of The Masonry Society (USA), and Honorary Fellow of Engineers Australia.
