Tommy Chan

Professor Tommy Chan is Chair in Civil Engineering at Queensland University of Technology's School of Civil and Environmental Engineering. With over $10M in research funding, his work focuses on structural health monitoring of bridges and infrastructure systems. His research group develops cutting-edge methods for assessing structural integrity using vibration analysis, optical sensors, and machine learning.

Professor Chan leads major projects including the ARC-funded 'Next Generation Bridge Monitoring' initiative developing real-time monitoring systems for prestressed concrete bridges. His team's innovations include GNSS-based settlement monitoring and synergic identification methods for prestress force evaluation. Current research explores vehicle-bridge interactions, damage detection algorithms, and novel materials for impact protection.

He has received numerous honors including the Vice Chancellors' Leadership Award and Top Supervisor Award. Professor Chan founded the Australian Network of Structural Health Monitoring and serves on editorial boards for multiple journals in structural engineering.
