Eighth Distinguished Lecture: Structures in Motion: The Dance of Mathematics and Engineering

Professor Ben CHAN has not only been dedicated to research in the fields of mechanics analysis for construction materials and bridge dynamics, but he also serves as Associate Dean of Students and Associate Director of Center for Engineering Education Innovation at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology. His research encompasses technology-driven teaching methods, core design, creativity and innovation capability development, engineering identity construction, and internationalisation. Due to his outstanding teaching performance, he has received numerous university and college teaching awards, including the 2024 UGC Teaching Award. In this lecture, Professor CHAN will explore the fascinating relationship between mathematics and civil engineering, with a particular focus on the relationship between building design and safety. He will elucidate the critical role that relevant mathematical concepts play in ensuring that structures can withstand powerful natural forces, such as typhoons and earthquakes.
