As a teenager, Imrose started his journey to become a civil engineer with a dream of building bridges that connect communities and skyscrapers that touch the sky! His passion for imparting knowledge, fostering innovation, and nurturing the next generation of engineers led him to pursue an academic career.

In January 2023, Imrose commenced his academic journey as a Lecturer at Teesside University, where he plays an integral role in enriching the School of Computing, Engineering & Digital Technologies through his active contributions to teaching, research, knowledge exchange, and business engagement. He is a Marketing and Recruitment Champion for the Department of Engineering. Prior to this role, he worked as a Postdoctoral fellow at the University of Leeds (UK) and the University of Newcastle, Australia. He was involved in projects funded by UKRI EPSRC and the Australian Research Council. He was also actively involved in teaching several modules at the University of Newcastle, Australia.

Imrose authored more than 35 high-impact scientific articles in his research fields which are published in various international journals and conferences. A list of publications is available on Google Scholar and ResearchGate. He is volunteering as a Reviewer for several top scientific journals published by Springer Nature, Elsevier and MDPI. 

Imrose's main research interests embrace, but are not limited to, the following areas:

• Sustainable and zero-carbon construction materials
• Assessment of ageing and historical masonry infrastructures
• Resilience-based design of cities, infrastructures and management
• Reliability analysis of materials and infrastructures

Community Advisory Board Member of the Institution of Civil Engineers (ICE) Knowledge Networks for Sustainable and Resilient Infrastructure. The network supports projects in the ICE work programme to build resilience and mitigate the significant effects of climate change, in line with UNSDG 13. 

Business Climate Coalition Member of the Stockton‑on‑Tees Borough Council. The coalition's goal is to unite local businesses in the Borough, fostering collaboration among them to promote sustainability and support their efforts in preparing for a sustainable future.

Prospective PhD and Postdoctoral candidates prepared to pursue external research funding are encouraged to reach out. Comprehensive support in developing outstanding research proposals for these exceptional scholars is readily available.

Imrose is involved with an EPSRC-funded £1.8 million research project, Exploiting the Resilience of Masonry Arch Bridge Infrastructure (ERMABI) with a group of researchers from University of Leeds, University of Sheffield and Imperial College London. 

He is involved in several enterprise activities (University of Teesside Enterprises, UTEL) focused on low and zero-carbon construction materials, geopolymer cement and concrete. It includes the development and processing of material solutions, materials testing and characterisation.
