Dr Ryan Hoult
Senior Lecturer

Dr. Ryan Hoult is a Senior Lecturer in Structural and Earthquake Engineering at the University of Newcastle, where his research is driven by a single overarching goal: making concrete structures safer when the ground shakes. His work spans experimental testing, advanced modelling, and design innovation, with a particular focus on reinforced concrete (RC) walls under in-plane and out-of-plane seismic demands, low-damage structural systems, and the torsion and warping behaviour of asymmetrical, non-planar cross-sections.
