Summary
Dr. Lantsoght graduated with a Master’s Degree in Civil Engineering from the Vrije Universiteit Brussel (Brussels,
Belgium) in 2008. She later earned a Master's degree in Structural Engineering at the Georgia Institute of Technology
(Atlanta, Georgia, USA) in 2009 and the title of Doctor in Structural Engineering from Technische Universiteit Delft (Delft,
the Netherlands) in 2013. The work experience of Dr. Lantsoght includes design work in structural and bridge
engineering in Belgium (Establis, and Ney & Partners) and working as an independent consultant in structural
