About
The late Professor Matthew Gilbert (1969-2025) was a prominent figure in computational engineering at the University of Sheffield and the Managing Director of LimitState Ltd. His impactful research spanned more than two decades, focusing on structural optimization, layout optimization, and the assessment of masonry arch bridges. He developed novel computational methods to discover minimum-weight truss layouts, bridging classical structural theory with modern optimization and resource-efficient manufacturing techniques like 3D printing.
