UNIVERSITY colleagues have expressed their shock and condolences as the third victim of Melbourne's wall collapse was named as a Monash staff member.
Frenchwoman Dr Marie-Faith Fiawoo, 33, died at the scene when a 15-metre-long section of brick wall fell onto Swanston Street in Carlton on Thursday.
French Consul-General Eric Berti released her name on Tuesday after her family had been notified of her death.
Dr Fiawoo had been working as a postdoctoral research fellow in the materials engineering department at the university's Clayton campus.
A Monash spokeswoman said the university was deeply saddened to hear one of its staff members had been killed in the tragic wall collapse.
"Our thoughts and prayers go out to Dr Fiawoo's family, work colleagues and friends," she said.
Monash Student Association president Freya Logan said the news had come as a shock to the university community.
According to her LinkedIn profile, Dr Fiawoo had been studying precipitates in aluminium alloys at the university since November 2010.
She had previously worked at the Paul Cezanne University in France and had been a PhD student at Onera, the French aerospace research facility, where she did her thesis on carbon nanotubes growth.
Her Facebook page lists her hometown as Paris.
Mr Berti said Dr Fiawoo's family had been notified on Good Friday of the tragedy and would take her body back to France.
"Her parents intend to come to Australia," Mr Berti told AAP on Tuesday.
He said Monash staff had been very helpful to Dr Fiawoo's family.
The wall collapse also killed brother and sister Alexander and Bridget Jones.
Mr Jones, 19, died at the scene after he shielded his sister from the falling bricks.
His sister, 18, died in hospital from head injuries on Sunday.
Multiple investigations are under way into the cause of the wall collapse.
