Zongjun Li

Dr Zongjun Li serves as a Lecturer at the School of Engineering and Technology, University of New South Wales (UNSW) Canberra campus since 2022. He holds a PhD from UNSW and previously worked as a Postdoctoral Research Associate/Fellow at UNSW Canberra and Shenzhen University from 2017 to 2022. His academic base is located at Room 101, Building 20, UNSW Canberra @ ADFA with contact number +61-2-51145265.

Dr Li's educational background includes a PhD from the University of New South Wales. His research spans structural engineering with emphasis on advanced composite materials and sustainable construction solutions.

His primary research interests focus on structural behavior of FRP-concrete composites, sustainable building materials, and impact dynamics. He investigates bond mechanisms in alkali-activated concrete systems, develops wood-geopolymer composites, and analyzes hybrid structural elements under dynamic loading. His work integrates experimental testing with computational modeling to address challenges in infrastructure resilience and sustainable construction.

Analysis of his recent publications reveals strong emphasis on fiber-reinforced polymer applications (80% of articles), with growing focus on sustainable material alternatives (40% since 2022) and machine learning integration in structural analysis (emerging trend in 2024). His work consistently bridges fundamental material science with practical structural engineering applications.

Scientific recognition includes:

• Best Paper Award at International Conference on Computational Methods (ICCM 2017)

Dr Li actively supervises research students in three key areas: Sustainable Materials (HEMP), Smart Structures (META), and Sustainable Energy with Machine/Deep Learning applications. His grant portfolio demonstrates leadership in competitive funding schemes including Start-Up (Lead CI), RRP (Lead CI), EO-SFRG (Lead CI), EOTP (CI), BA (Lead CI), and UNSW RIS 2024 (CI). Teaching responsibilities encompass Engineering Materials (ZEIT 3501), Impact Dynamics (ZEIT 4014), Explosive Ordnance Technology (ZEIT 8233), and Final Year Engineering Projects (ZEIT 4500/4501).
