Au, Ivan - University of Liverpool - School of Engineering

个人简介

Dr Au is currently Chair of Uncertainty, Reliability and Risk appointed jointly under the Centre for Engineering Dynamics and the Institute for Risk and Uncertainty. He obtained BEng (1995) and MPhil (1997) from the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology and PhD (2001) from the California Institute of Technology, all in civil engineering. Before joining the University of Liverpool he has held academic positions at the Nanyang Technological University (Singapore) and the City University of Hong Kong. He has also been a visiting professor at the Tokyo City University and is currently Chutian Chair Professor (visiting) at the State Key Laboratory of Water Resources and Hydropower Engineering of Wuhan University. He is a chartered civil engineer in Hong Kong. Dr Au performs fundamental and applied research in engineering reliability analysis and structural health monitoring. He has developed an efficient Monte Carlo method called Subset Simulation that has found risk assessment or uncertainty propagation applications in many disciplines, e.g., earthquake, geotechnical, aerospace, fire, electrical, meteorological and nuclear engineering. The work led to the research monograph "Engineering Risk Assessment with Subset Simulation" (Wiley). Dr Au is experienced in full-scale dynamic testing of structures and has consulted on structural vibration projects on long-span pedestrian bridges, large-span floors, super-tall buildings and microtremors. Recent research in this area focuses on fundamental theory, computational algorithm and practical implementation of Bayesian approach for modal identification and structural system identification of full-scale structures. He is a recipient of the IASSAR Junior Research Prize (2005), Nishino Prize (2011), JSPS fellowship (2014) and Tan Chin Tuan Fellowship (2015). He chairs the ASCE Dynamics Committee; and is Associate Editor of Structural Health Monitoring (Sage) and Journal of Risk & Uncertainty Analysis in Engineering (ASCE-ASME).
