About Zora Vrcelj
As Head of Built Environment at Victoria University, Associate Professor Zora Vrcelj enjoys working across the built environment, engineering and construction sector to achieve impactful outcomes.
Prior to joining Victoria University in 2012 Associate Professor Vrcelj was an academic for 12 years within the School of Civil and Environmental Engineering at the University of New South Wales (UNSW).
Associate Professor Vrcelj has been working to bring about technological developments aimed at enhancing the functionalities of high-performance structures (smart buildings and civil infrastructure). She has worked on numerous research projects with particular focus on structural engineering design, advanced composite structures embedded with piezoelectric sensors and actuators, and testing and evaluation of materials used in buildings and civil infrastructure. This experience, combined with her work in the fields of structural engineering, structural mechanics, materials science and smart buildings, enables her to extrapolate this expertise to built environment practice.
Associate Professor Vrcelj has published over 80 refereed technical publications and has secured numerous competitive grants (including ARC DP and CRC grants). Since 2010, she has held a Visiting Professor position in Civil engineering at the University of Novi Sad, Serbia
