Professor Jin-Guang Teng received his BEng degree from Zhejiang University in 1983 and his PhD degree from the University of Sydney in 1990 . He was a Senior Lecturer at James Cook University in Queensland, Australia before joining the Department of Civil and Structural Engineering of The Hong Kong Polytechnic University (PolyU). He served as a Lecturer/Assistant Professor from 1994 to 1997, and was promoted to Associate Professor in 1997, Professor in 1999, and Chair Professor of Structural Engineering in 2005. He served as Associate Dean (Research) of the Faculty of Construction and Land Use (renamed as the Faculty of Construction and Environment in September 2011) from October 2005 to August 2006 and became Dean of the Faculty in September 2007. He also served as an Associate Vice President of PolyU from September 2006 to June 2010. He is a Fellow of the Hong Kong Institution of Engineers and served as the founding President of the International Institute for FRP in Construction (IIFC) from 2003 to 2006.

His research interests include emerging structural materials and systems, the structural use of fibre-reinforced polymer (FRP) composites in construction, seismic assessment and retrofit of structures, life-cycle structural engineering, steel structures, and thin-walled structures. He is the author/co-author of over 380 papers, including over 140 SCI journal papers which have attracted over 2400 non-self citations in the Web of Science. In addition, he is the lead author of the book "FRP-Strengthened RC Structures" published by John Wiley and Sons in 2002, a co-editor of the book "Buckling of Thin Metal Shells" published by Spon Press in 2004 (with Professor J.M. Rotter), and a co-editor of the book "Strengthening and Rehabilitation of Civil Infrastructures Using FRP Composites" published by Woodhead Publishing Limited in 2008 (with Professor L.C. Hollaway). In addition to a large number of publications, Professor Teng is the inventor of the steel-concrete composite shell roof system (the Comshell roof) and the FRP-steel-concrete double-skin tubular column, and has played a major role in the development of the National Standard for Infrastructure Application of FRP Composites.

Recent recognitions of his research contributions include:

Professor Teng served as the founding President of the International Institute for FRP in Construction (IIFC) from 2003 to 2006. He is the current Chairman of the Advisory Committee of IIFC. The aim of the Institute is to advance the understanding and the application of fibre-reinforced polymer (FRP) composites in the civil infrastructure, in the service of the engineering profession and society.

Professor Teng is the Editor-in-Chief of the international journal Advances in Structural Engineering, and a former Associate Editor of the Journal of Structural Engineering, ASCE. He is also a member of the editorial boards of the following international journals: Journal of Composites for Construction, ASCE; Construction and Building Materials; Thin-Walled Structures; Steel and Composite Structures; Advanced Steel Construction; and International Journal of Concrete Structures and Materials, Korean Concrete Institute. In addition, he is a member of the editorial boards of the following two Chinese journals: Progress in Steel Building Structures and Spatial Structures. Professor Teng served as a member of the Engineering Panel of the Research Grants Council of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region from 2001-2006. He has also served as a referee for national research funding schemes in China, UK, Canada, Australia, Italy, Portugal, South Africa, Israel and for over 30 international journals.

Professor Teng has been the Vice-Chairman/Co-Chairman of the First (December 1996), Second (December 1999) and Third (December 2002) International Conferences on Advances in Steel Structures.
