I am currently the program leader of the civil engineering program of our Department. I serve in several scientific and professional committees. I am the executive board member of the Hong Kong Society for Transportation Studies (HKSTS), international executive committee member of the International Committee on Pavement Technology (ICPT), international advisory committee member of Chinese and European Pavement Research Workshop, member of several mommittees in the Transportation Research Board (TRB) of the National Academies.
I dedicated most of my time in professional services to the editing of several journals. Please send your high-quality papers to the following journals.
Construction and Building Materials provides an international forum for the dissemination of innovative and original research and development in the field of construction and building materials and their application in new works and repair practice. The journal publishes a wide range of innovative research and application papers which describe laboratory and to a limited extent numerical investigations or report on full scale projects (link to the journal).
Nature-Based Solutions is a home to research of nature-based solutions (NBS), to both broaden and deepen scientific knowledge on NBS and advance its adoption, synthesis, and application to address critical societal challenges at multiple scales. NBS utilize nature and/or ecological processes to strengthen a system's capacity to deal with multiple and interconnected challenges. NBS represent a holistic approach to climate change adaptation and resilience building, with equal reliance upon social, environmental, and economic pillars (link to the journal).
The objective of the International Journal of Pavement Research and Technology is to provide a platform to promote exchange of ideas among pavement engineering communities around the world. The journal attempts to disseminate information on all aspects of pavement engineering and technology developed through research and practical experiences (link to the journal).
Sustainable and Resilient Infrastructure is an interdisciplinary journal that focuses on the sustainable development of resilient communities. Sustainability is defined in relation to the ability of infrastructure to address the needs of the present without sacrificing the ability of future generations to meet their needs. Resilience is considered in relation to both natural hazards (like earthquakes, tsunami, hurricanes, cyclones, tornado, flooding and drought) and anthropogenic hazards (like human errors and malevolent attacks.) Resilience is taken to depend both on the performance of the built and modified natural environment and on the contextual characteristics of social, economic and political institutions. Sustainability and resilience are considered both for physical and non-physical infrastructure (link to the journal).
