Dora Silveira has a degree in Civil Engineering (2006) and a PhD in Civil Engineering (2016) from the University of Aveiro. Her PhD focused on the constructive and mechanical characterization of adobe masonry walls from existing buildings, through building surveys and experimental tests. She is currently a collaborator at Itecons – Institute for Research and Technological Development in Construction, Energy, Environment and Sustainability in the Consulting area, in the Rehabilitation Section. As part of her work in the Consulting area, in the Rehabilitation Section, she collaborates in the preparation of technical reports and rehabilitation projects. She integrated / integrates the research team of the following projects: - “CTI – Plurianual” (CIT/2018/23; Despacho 9799-A/2022), supported by FITEC – Fundo de Inovação, Tecnologia e Economia Circular, from 2022 to 2025; - “InnoCreteTech: Climate resilience of the construction industry through waste recovery technologies - Innovative concrete solutions” (EXPL/ECI-EGC/1585/2021), from 2022 to 2023; - “IF MORTAR: Experimental and Numerical Analysis of Interface mortar-support” (POCI 01-0145-FEDER-032223, PTDC/ECI-EGC/32223/2017), from 2019 to 2022; - “SafEarth: Seismic protection of earthen construction heritage” (POCI-01-0145-FEDER-016737, PTDC/ECM-EST/2777/2014), from 2016 to 2018; - “Be+Earth: BEhaviour characterization and rehabilitation of EARTHen construction” (PTDC/ECM-EST/2396/2012), from 2013 to 2015; - “Seismic-V: Vernacular seismic culture in Portugal”, (PTDC/ATP-AQI/3934/2012), from 2013 to 2015. She has co-authored 4 book chapters, 12 international journal papers and 31 international and national conference papers. She also co-supervised two master's theses and a doctoral internship. She was a member of the organizing or executive committee of 8 congresses/seminars.
