工业装备结构分析国家重点实验室 工程力学系 Introduction to Professor Andrew HC Chan, Ph.D. University of Birmingham, UK Prof.Andrew Hin CheongCHANwas born in1961 inHong Kong, andgraduatedwith a first class B.Sc. in Civil Engineering from theUniversityofHong Kongin 1982. He undertook an M.Phil. in Civil Engineering at the University of Hong Kong which was awarded in 1985 with a Croucher Foundation (Hong Kong) Studentship under the supervision of Prof. Y.K. Cheung. He was then awarded a Croucher Foundation (Hong Kong) Scholarship. He obtained his PhD in 1989 at theUniversityofWales,Swanseain finite element solution of static and dynamic problems in geomechanics under the supervision of Prof. OC Zienkiewicz, FRS. After working for six months as a postdoctoral research assistant under Prof. AN Schofield FRS in theCambridgeUniversity Engineering Department, Andrew became a lecturer in Department of Civil Engineering,UniversityofGlasgowand was appointed Reader in Computational Engineering at theUniversityofBirminghamin September 1995. He was conferred in January 2005 the title Professor in Computational Engineering. Professor Chan has wide research interests but there are two key areas: 1. Development and application of computer and numerical methods in Civil Engineering with particular interest in Finite Element method, Discrete Element Method, Dynamic problem and Geotechnical Engineering as well as Coupled fluid flow in deformable porous media under various time scales 2. The application of computer methods such as Fuzzy logic, Decision Support System and Nature inspired computational method to Civil Engineering problems. Dr. Chan is author or co-author of over 160 published technical journal andconferencepapers as well as chapters in edited books. He has also co-authored a book entitled “Computational geomechanics with special reference to earthquake engineering” with Prof. O.C. Zienkiewicz and others published in Feb 1999. He is one of the world leading experts in the use of the finite element method for static and dynamic fully coupled soil and pore-fluid interaction and the author of two comprehensive Finite Element packages for deformable porous media and pore fluid interaction. He is a Member of the British Computer Society, Chartered Engineer with the Engineering Council and a European Engineer with the European Federation of National Engineering Associations. He has been the Technical reporter on ''Soil and Foundation dynamics'' and Committee Member of the Society of Earthquake and Civil Engineering Dynamics, the national earthquake society forUKfor more than ten years. He is also the honorary secretary of Association of Computational Mechanics in Engineering for theUnited Kingdom. He is a Member of British Geotechnical Association and a Member of EPSRC peer review college (1/2003-12/2009). He is also a Fellow of the Higher Education Academy. |
