Bio
Justin Bucknell
I have had the greatest respect for Albert as the leader of a major competitor for many years and subsequently the great pleasure of working with him for two years at iSIMS. Albert is a formidable intellect devoted to his own professional development but equally to the development of those he works with. Albert is not just a major contribution to the organizations he works within but also for the engineering profession in general as evidenced by his substantial contributions to national and international codes and standards . As a team member or leader, Albert earns my highest recommendation.
Dan Gallagher
Albert is an accomplished structural engineer, highly skilled in advanced analysis of complex structures, with expertise in earthquake enginneering and structural reliability. He has proven himself as team and technical lead on major offshore greenfield projects as well as detailed assessments on brownfield assets. it was always a pleasure to work with him.
