Composites for Building Assembly

Yu Bai is a Professor of Structural Engineering in the Department of Civil Engineering at Monash University. He holds B.Sc. and M. S. degrees in Civil Engineering from Tsinghua University, China, and a Ph.D. degree in Civil Engineering from the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Lausanne (EPFL), Switzerland. His research interests include fiber reinforced polymer composites and structures,  structural connections and design for manufacturing and assembly, and material and structural responses under critical load conditions. His recent research focuses on the development of structural systems using modern building technologies (such as modular construction and robotic construction) and using complementary material advantages (such as fiber reinforced polymer composites in combination with traditional construction materials such as steel and timber).
