I am a Professor ("Peiyang Distinguished Professor") at School of Civil Engineering, Tianjin University, China, an associate editor of Journal of Offshore Mechanics and Arctic Engineering - ASME, an editorial board member of Chinese Journal of Ship Research. Before I joined Tianjin University, I was working as a Senior Lecturer at School of Engineering, Newcastle University, UK. Prior to that, I worked for American Bureau of Shipping (ABS), Houston, TX, USA for seven years where I specialized on industry standards development and advanced R&D projects. My research interest is primarily focused on structural integrity and reliability assessment for marine structures (Merchant ship, FPSO, offshore wind turbine, Semi, TLP, Riser & pipeline, etc), including structural ultimate strength prediction, fatigue and fracture mechanics analysis, corrosion fatigue, engineering critical assessment (ECA), structural reliability analysis, risk-based inspection (RBI), risk analysis, digital twin (DT), etc. As PI, I was in charge of 20+ projects from US and UK offshore oil & gas companies, including ExxonMobil, BP, GE, DNVGL, etc. In addition, I am currently a committee Member of International Ship and Offshore Structures Congress (ISSC), a member of Scientific Committee (Structures, Safety and Reliability) of International Conference on Ocean, Offshore and Arctic Engineering (OMAE) (ASME), a member of international conference organizing committees of COTech and MARTECH, a member of ASME and SNAME. I was a member of technical committee of Ship Structure Committee (SSC) projects of USA, a technical committee member of Joint Industry Projects (JIP) and industry Joint Development Projects (JDP) of USA, a member of international conference organizing committees of MARSTRUCT, IMAM, etc.
