معرفی
Professor Chun Qing Li is a Professor of Civil Engineering at RMIT University's School of Engineering, leading global research in time-dependent reliability theory and infrastructure corrosion management. He previously served as Head of School (2011-2016), significantly boosting research output and elevating RMIT's Civil Engineering ranking into the top 100 globally. His expertise spans corrosion mechanics, mixed-mode fracture failure, and risk-cost optimized maintenance strategies for critical infrastructure.
Research interests include:
- Time-variant reliability analysis for deteriorating structures
- Corrosion effects on steel and concrete infrastructure
- Mixed-mode fracture mechanics for buried pipelines
- Circular economy design for sustainable infrastructure
- Risk-based service life prediction methodologies
Publications focus on advancing probabilistic modeling techniques, with over 300 papers including high-impact journals like Journal of Structural Engineering and ASCE Journal of Engineering Mechanics. His work has received £10M+ in research grants from UK EPSRC and Australian ARC. Awards include UK's highest 4* research rating and Elsevier's 'Top 2% Scientists' recognition.
Industry collaborations include critical infrastructure projects with Metro Trains Melbourne (rail safety), Melbourne Water (stormwater pipe integrity), and AECOM (tunnel maintenance strategies). Supervises PhD/Master's projects on topics like carbon-neutral infrastructure design and corrosion modeling.
