Biography:
K.K. Ang is an Associate Professor in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at the National University of Singapore. He received his B.Eng degree from the University of Singapore, M.Eng from the National University of Singapore and PhD from the University of New South Wales, Australia. He has been a staff member of the Department of Civil Engineering at the National University of Singapore since March 1987.
Professor Ang is actively involved in the use of IT for enhanced teaching and learning, and is presently the Director of the Centre for IT and Applications (CITA Engineering) at the Faculty of Engineering. He was the first recipient of the inaugural NUS Teaching Excellence Award for Use of IT in Teaching and the Faculty Teaching Excellence Award for Innovative Teaching in 1998. He also received the Department of Civil Engineering Teaching Commendation Awards in 1997/98 and 1998/99. Professor Ang has taught courses in Computing, Structural Mechanics, Structural Steel Design, Structural Analysis and Finite Element Methods. His research interests include structural stability and vibration, shape and vibration control of smart adaptive structures, analysis and design of very large floating structures, computational mechanics, finite element method and meshless methods, and have published about 60 technical papers in these areas in various international journals and conferences. He won the IES/IStructE Best Structural Paper Award in 1994 for his work on development of buckling formulas and design charts for straight members and plates. Professor Ang has been involved in the organizations of various international conferences. He was the Honorary Secretary of the 4th Asia-Pacific Conference on Computational Mechanics held in Singapore in December 1999 and is currently the Honorary Secretary of the 2nd International Conference on Structural Stability and Dynamics to be held in Singapore in December 2002. Professor Ang is a Singapore registered professional engineer since 1991 and has been involved in consulting jobs for the local industries. He is also a member of the Institution of Engineers, Singapore, and is currently serving as an elected council member of the Singapore Structural Steel Society. His hobbies are playing with computers, traveling and watching movies.
