Professor of Structural Engineering
Department of Civil Engineering

Autobiography:
I have been actively engaged in academic research and lecturing since I completed my PhD at Monash University in 1985. Throughout my service of more than 30 years at six universities in three countries, my focus and commitment have always been to help universities produce the best civil/structural engineering graduates for the real world. I have taught a number of civil and structural engineering subjects at undergraduate and postgraduate levels, in particular, structural analysis and steel structural design subjects. In research I have supervised more than 40 higher degree research students to completion as the principal supervisor, out of which 26 were doctoral research students. Cold-formed and high strength steel structures, fire safety of steel buildings, structural safety and disaster mitigation, metal roof and wall cladding and sandwich panel systems and innovative building components and building systems are some of my areas of expertise in which I have published over 400 research papers (150 journal papers) while my research grants during the last 10 years has been over $5 million.
