I specialise in fundamental and applied research in structural health monitoring (SHM). My research interests include SHM, guided wave nondestructive evaluation, system identification, engineering reliability and risk analysis and composite materials.

I am looking for self-motivated students with an interest in pursuing PhD/MPhil degree in the areas of SHM, non-destructive evaluation, ultrasonics guided wave, vibration testing, modal identification. Students interested in applying these techniques in engineering areas are also welcome. Successful applicants will be awarded a full scholarship to cover the full tuition fee and living allowance.

For applicants from China, the China Scholarship Council (CSC) and The University of Adelaide are jointly offering postgraduate research scholarships to students from People's Republic of China to undertake a postgraduate research degree at the University of Adelaide.

Prospective candidates with strong academic background please contact me through email directly.

Academics/students, who are employed/studied at other universities, are welcome to visit and collaborate with my research group for a period between one and twelve months.
