Structures Engineering
Monash University
Biography:
Dr. Duan graduated from Tianjin University (China) in engineering mechanics with BEng and MEng in 1997 and 2002, respectively. He received his PhD from the National University of Singapore (Singapore) in Civil Engineering in April 2006. From 1997 to 1999, he worked in the field of assessment and rehabilitation of bridge and road as well as assessment of pile foundation as a structural engineer in Tianjin Municipal and Highway Research Institute, China. Starting from Feb. 2006, He worked as post-doctoral fellow in Singapore and Canada. He recently joined Monash University as a Lecturer in Nov 2008.
