Douglas Tomlinson is an Associate Professor in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at the University of Alberta. His research focuses on structural engineering, particularly in the areas of reinforced concrete and advanced composite materials. He obtained his PhD in Civil Engineering from Queen's University, where his thesis investigated the behavior of partially composite precast concrete insulated wall panels under various loading conditions. He has developed techniques to evaluate the performance of concrete members using Digital Image Correlation methods. Tomlinson serves as an associate editor for the Canadian Journal of Civil Engineering and participates actively in several American Concrete Institute committees. His teaching portfolio includes undergraduate courses on engineering mechanics, structural analysis, and design principles of reinforced concrete. Tomlinson's engagement in research is complemented by his involvement in student-led engineering competitions, such as Queen's concrete canoe team.
