Rui Marques was born in Monção, Portugal, on 29 April 1980. In 2003, he obtained a degree in Civil Engineering from University of Minho (UMinho). Rui started his professional career in 2005 by working for a contractor in Monção as an Engineer for the planning and management of road and urban infrastructure works. He finished in 2007 at UMinho the MSc dissertation "Development of an intelligent system to support compaction optimization of geomaterials in transportation network" by applying AI techniques to the French guide of road earthworks (GTR), under the Project "Interaction Soil-Railway Track for High Speed Trains" funded by the Portuguese Foundation for Science and Technology (FCT). During 2008-2012, Rui developed at UMinho a PhD thesis on "New methodologies for seismic design of unreinforced and confined masonry structures", funded by an FCT PhD scholarship. In 2013-2014 he completed a postdoc stay at Catholic University of Peru (PUCP), where acted as Researcher, Lecturer and Advisor of the Master's Program in Civil Engineering. Rui investigated the theme of structural analysis of historical Peruvian masonry constructions. He was the Coordinator of the courses Finite Element Theory & Thesis Seminar 1 and was the advisor of 3 students of the Master at PUCP. Rui was a member of the evaluation panel for research grants of the Peruvian Council for Science & Technology. He was, in late 2014, Invited Lecturer of the Andean University of Cusco. After returning to UMinho in 2015, Rui was Lecturer in the ELARCH edition (2016/2017) of the Advanced Masters in Structural Analysis of Monuments & Historical Constructions, for Latin-American students. He acted as a consultant in structural analysis and assessment of new masonry buildings in Cape Verde and Portugal, as well as heritage buildings in Israel, New Zealand and Peru, e.g. Old Municipal Chambers (Christchurch) and Andahuaylillas Church (Cusco). Currently, Rui is a Research Associate at the Institute for Sustainability and Innovation in Structural Engineering at UMinho, mainly investigating the seismic behavior of masonry buildings. He is an expert in numerical macro-element modeling and pushover analysis of masonry structures. Rui is interested in earthquake engineering, experimental and numerical methods, innovative strengthening techniques, earthen constructions, sustainable construction, climate change, transportation geotechnics, and machine learning. He collaborated in 15 R&D projects, in Portugal and internationals, for seismic design and assessment of masonry constructions, e.g. Huaca de la Luna (Peru). Rui has supervised 2 PhD and 3 MSc students at UMinho. He is the author of 75 technical/scientific publications, was a reviewer for 41 journals, is on the Editorial Board of Sustainability (MDPI) and Frontiers in Built Environment, and is a Topic Editor for MDPI. Rui is, since 2016, a member of CEN/TC250/SC6/WG1 and was the technical secretary of the Project Team for task SC6.T1 "Masonry - Revised version of EN 1996-1-1". He collaborated, from 2015 to 2018, in the work for the revision of EN 1996-1-1, Design of masonry structures, in the scope of the EC Mandate M/515 for the 2nd generation of Eurocodes. Rui is also on the Portuguese Committee for EC6. He was involved in drafting the proposal for the ERC-funded project Stand4Heritage (3 M€). Rui acted as Evaluator of ID&I Grants for ANI, HRZZ, MUR-Italy, and PUCP. He is a Teacher of the courses Structural Behaviour & Masonry Structures of the MSc in Structural Engineering and was appointed as Lecturer of the Masonry and Heritage Structures course of the MSc in Civil Engineering, at UMinho. Rui co-authored a guide for the design of masonry buildings (cBloco Handbook) and a manual for the seismic assessment and strengthening of existing masonry buildings. He was a Trainer in a course for practitioners on this last topic (for Order of Engineers). Rui has research collaborations abroad, e.g. in the Americas, Italy, and India.
