MSc Elena Delova, grad. civil eng., started her bachelor studies in the academic 2011/12 at the Faculty of Civil Engineering in Skopje, module: structural engineering. She graduated in January 2016. In the academic 2016/2017, she was enrolled in the second cycle of Post-graduate Studies that were held at the Institute of Earthquake Engineering and Engineering Seismology (IZIIS). During her studies she has successfully completed a one-semester Erasmus+ exchange in the University Federico II, in Naples, Italy. She earned her MSc degree in Earthquake Engineering in August 2019, with master thesis titled: Analysis and design of stable and economical reinforced concrete structures with controlled and conducted behavior for construction in seismic regions. From October 2019 she is enrolled in PhD studies at IZIIS. Her professional work engagement in IZIIS starts in 2016, with the enrollment in the master studies. Since the beginning until today she is a young researcher in IZIIS, as part of the Department for Building structures and materials: design, analysis and testing. As part of her professional engagement she actively participates in scientific-research activity, assistance and supervision in the field of earthquake engineering, through analysis of structures, aseismic design, seismic stability assessment of existing buildings, diagnostics of structures, repair and strengthening of structures, post-earthquake missions with damage assessment and elimination of the consequences of natural disasters. During her work in IZIIS she is actively engaged in the professional applicative activities of UKIM-IZIIS, with participation in a large number of applicative projects in the department. She was also part of the team for the realization of a few scientific-research projects. She participates in the project for making instructional materials for the control of project documentation done by application of the Eurocodes, by IZIIS. She participates in a few seminars, professional trainings, and schools, like: Eurocodes Balkan Summer School 2021, summer school, organized by European Commission’s Joint Research Centre (JRC) и BIM FOR ENGINEERS 2020, summer school organized by the University of Split. As author and co-author she has published many papers in the field of Earthquake engineering, on national and international conferences. At the moment she is a member of the Macedonian Association for Earthquake Engineering (MAEE), and the International Council on Monuments and Sites (ICOMOS).
