UNIVERSITY OF LUXEMBOURG
The ArcelorMittal Chair of Steel Construction, within the Department of Engineering, is a cooperation of ArcelorMittal and Uni.lu for education, research, and consulting in civil engineering with focus on steel-, and composite structures.
The team at the Chair has extensive experiences in research projects on fastening technologies, steel connections, and demountable composite beams, and composite mega columns, and among others, participated in RFCS projects, DISCCO and REDUCE.
Full access to laboratory of University of Luxembourg computing facilities will serve the experimental and numerical studies planned in WP6 (simple joints), and other WPs where Uni.lu are contributing.
Prof. Odenbreit is the holder of AM Chair since 2011, and committee members of ECCS/TC11, CEN/TC250/SC3, CEN/TC250/SC4 and CENT/C350/SC1 which will be beneficial for WP9 (Technical design guidelines), and disseminations in WP11 of this project.

Team Members
Teodora Bogdan is a research scientist at the ArcelorMittal Chair of Steel Construction at University of Luxembourg in the team of Prof. Christoph Odenbreit focused on steel structure research, particularly green and sustainable steel composite building. Previously she was a senior researcher at ArcelorMittal Global R&D.
Christoph Odenbreit
Full Professor in Steel and Composite Structures – ArcelorMittal Chair of Steel Construction
Full Professor in Steel and Composite Structures and holder of the ArcelorMittal Chair of Steel Construction with a background is in structural Engineering and increased awareness on the environmental impact of research output.
They Chair participated for example at the European RFCS Project “REDUCE” (2016-2019) with circular reusable and modular elements targeting reduced carbon emissions. The positive outcome and success it received, motivated to improve it by widening the view with further partner and additional materials like timber, as promising partner of steel.
As a member of the Structural Engineering Laboratory of the University of Luxembourg, Mr Saeidi is in charge with the management of the concrete lab., material testing on concrete & steel samples and maintenance of laboratory machines/equipment.
Manager of the Technical Support Unit Team which operates under the umbrella of the Faculty of Science, Technology, and Medicine (FSTM), offering vital assistance to researchers within the Department of Engineering (DOE) and the Department of Computer Science (DCS).
