Professor Ivan Au serves as a Professor at Nanyang Technological University's School of Civil and Environmental Engineering in Singapore. A chartered civil engineer in Hong Kong, he previously held academic appointments at NTU, City University of Hong Kong, and the University of Liverpool.
His educational background includes:
- BEng (1995) from Hong Kong University of Science and Technology
- MPhil (1997) from Hong Kong University of Science and Technology
- PhD (2001) from California Institute of Technology
Professor Au specializes in engineering reliability methods and structural health monitoring, pioneering the Subset Simulation Monte Carlo technique for uncertainty propagation and rare event analysis. His research spans full-scale dynamic testing of structures including long-span bridges, super-tall buildings, and seismic microzonation, with recent focus on Bayesian approaches for modal identification. Applications of his work extend to nuclear fuel risk assessment, 5G communication systems, and physics-informed neural networks.
His scientific recognition includes:
- IASSAR Junior Research Prize (2005)
- Nishino Prize (2011)
- JSPS Fellowship (2014)
- Tan Chin Tuan Fellowship (2015)
Professor Au contributes extensively to academic service as Associate Editor of Structural Health Monitoring (Sage) and Earthquake Spectra (EERI/Sage), Editorial Board Member for Probabilistic Engineering Mechanics (Elsevier) and Journal of Risk & Uncertainty Analysis in Engineering (ASCE-ASME), and former Chair of the ASCE Dynamics Committee (2014-2017). He has authored two influential monographs: Engineering Risk Assessment with Subset Simulation (Wiley) and Operational Modal Analysis: Modelling, Bayesian Inference, Uncertainty Laws (Springer).
