Biographical history
Eugen Ruus was born in Pärnu, Estonia in 1917. He graduated from the Tallinn University of Technology in Estonia with a degree in engineering. Ruus escaped to Finland during World War II, and in 1950 emigrated to Canada with his family. He then returned to Europe in 1957 to complete his Doctor in Engineering at the University of Karlsruhe in Germany. He joined UBC’s Department of Civil Engineering in 1958 as a lecturer, and became an assistant professor the following year. In 1972 Ruus was made a full professor, and remained a faculty member until his retirement in 1985, when he was named Honorary Professor. Outside of his civil engineering work, he was an ordained clergy member for the Estonian Apostolic Orthodox Church. Ruus died in 2000.
