Professor Wensu Chen is a Director of the Centre for Infrastructural Monitoring and Protection (CIMP) and holds the position of ARC Future Fellow at Curtin University's School of Civil and Mechanical Engineering. He leads research in protective structures and materials, structural resilience, and multi-hazard mitigation. With a BE/MSc from Tianjin University, ME from the University of Melbourne, and a PhD from the University of Western Australia, his career spans academia and industry.
His research focuses on novel metaconcrete materials, blast-resistant designs, and modular construction. He has secured multiple ARC grants (Discovery, DECRA, Linkage) and collaborates with industry/government bodies like DEMIRS WA and Engineers Australia.
Research interests include metamaterials, structural strengthening, and dynamic response analysis under impact and blast loads. Key awards include the Curtin Early-Career Researcher of the Year and Western Australian Premier’s Science Award nominations.
He supervises over 20 PhD students and teaches courses in structural analysis and dynamics. His work emphasizes sustainable, resilient infrastructure with applications in building envelopes, seismic control, and tunnel safety under explosive threats.
