Short Bio:
Hollie is a Structural Engineer and Teaching Fellow at Trinity College Dublin, Ireland. Her research focuses on the wind-induced motion of high-rise buildings, including identification of inherent properties of tall building structures through operational modal analysis, uncertainty quantification, surrogate modelling, assessing serviceability limit state requirements and the development of suitable mitigation strategies to ensure occupant comfort. Whilst working as a visiting reseracher at TU Delft, Hollie is assessing the resilience of the European Building Stock to intense wind storms resulting from climate change. This research involves the development of performance-based wind engineering frameworks based on sensitivity analysis, which aim to enable proactive climate adaptation as wind loads become increasingly non-stationary.
Prior to joining TU Delft, Hollie completed her PhD at Trinity College Dublin in 2024 during which she worked jointly in industry as a Consultant Structural Enginner on a range of projects including Europe's tallest modular buildings, condition assessments of vital infrastructure and heritage buildings, retrofit projects, office and residential projects and temporary works design. Hollie has worked as a Teaching Fellow at Trinity College Dublin since September 2024 where she has been recognised for her contibution to undergraduate and postgraduate teaching.
