About
After receiving my BSc and MSc degrees in 2002 from Tsinghua University, China, I moved to Swansea, Wales, to take up a research fellow post at Swansea University while doing my PhD research in Computational Engineering. I have been working in Swansea University since then and am currently a Chair Professor in Computational Engineering. My research work (http://engweb.swan.ac.uk/~cfli/) centres largely on Computational Engineering and Physics-based Data Mining, Energy, Civil and Structural Engineering, and Heterogeneous Materials. Many of my research works are in close collaboration with industries, especially the infrastructure and construction sectors including ARUP Ltd., Costain Ltd., Bauer Ltd. and Soletanche Bachy Ltd. etc. Besides the academic work at Swansea University, I serve as the Editor-in-Chief of Engineering Computations (https://www.emerald.com/insight/publication/issn/0264-4401).
