    Overview

    Profile summary

    I've been a lecturer in Civil Engineering at UoP since 2017. Prior to joining UoP as a lecturer, I worked at the University of Sheffield as a postdoc for the EPSRC project “The behaviour of built-up thin-walled steel structural elements (EP/M011976/1)” and “Sustainable fire-spalling-resistant concrete (EP/N019555/1)”. My current research mainly focuses on the low carbon construction materials, particularly the application to offshore floating platforms. I am currently the PI for a Royal Society funded project "Fatigue failure mechanics of carbon-fibre textile reinforced concrete in the marine environment", to test the flexural fatigue behaviour of CTRC beams under seawater, and the coordinator for an EU funded project “Tailor-made recycled aggregate concrete (H2020-MSCA-RISE-2017-777823-TRAC)” which aims to promote the use of recycled aggregates in civil infrastructure. I’m also a Co-I for EPSRC funded project “FlexWave – flexible responsive systems in wave energy (EP/V040367/1)”, where I’m responsible for finite element analysis of the flexible wave energy converters under wave loading. I was the PI for an EPSRC funded Supergen ORE ECR award “Offshore floating foundations using self-sensing carbon fibre textile reinforced concretes”, to test the dual-functional properties of using carbon-fibre textiles as both reinforcement and sensor in concrete structures, and PI for a Sustainable Earth Institute funded project “Use of tungsten tailing waste as replacement for cement” to investigate the feasibility of using tungsten tailings in making low carbon concrete materials.
