About Lisa-Mareike

Lisa-Mareike Ottenhaus is a Lecturer in Structural Timber Engineering in the School of Civil Engineering at the University of Queensland. She completed her PhD at the University of Canterbury in New Zealand, where her doctoral research examined the seismic performance of connections in tall timber buildings, with a primary focus on cross-laminated timber (CLT) and laminated veneer lumber (LVL). During her PhD, she collaborated with XLam, a key supplier in the field, which was later acquired by Hyne Timber, enabling the launch of Australia's inaugural CLT production line. At the University of Queensland, Ottenhaus has shifted her research towards adaptable timber buildings engineered for disassembly and reuse at the end of their service life, thereby supporting circular economy principles within the construction industry. Her scholarly pursuits encompass the design and analysis of timber connections, factors influencing ductility and overstrength, reversible timber systems, and the structural performance of mass timber elements subjected to monotonic and cyclic loading conditions.
