Biography

Kok Keong Choong is an Associate Professor at the School of Civil Engineering, Universiti Sains Malaysia. He obtained his BEng from Universiti Teknologi Malaysia, MEng from Gifu University, Japan and DEng from The University of Tokyo, Japan. His main research interest is on topics related to computational analysis of shell & spatial structures. He also collaborates with industry on research studies or projects related to tensioned fabric structures, vibration of structures, dynamics of steel bridge structures and precast concrete structures. He is a professional engineer registered with the Board of Engineers Malaysia.

Mustafasanie M. Yussof received his Bachelor of Engineering (Civil) degree from Universiti Teknologi Malaysia, Malaysia, in 2003; Master of Science in Structural Engineering from Universiti Sains Malaysia, Malaysia, in 2007;　 and Ph.D. degree in Structural Engineering from the University of Surrey, United Kingdom, in 2015. In 2007, he joined the School of Civil Engineering, Universiti Sains Malaysia, as a Lecturer and in 2017 became a Senior Lecturer. His current research interests include finite element applications, computational fluid dynamics applications, space structures, structural glass façade systems and structural fire engineering.

Jat Yuen Richard Liew is a Professor in the Department of Civil & Environmental Engineering at the National University of Singapore. He is a Chartered Engineer registered in Singapore and UK. He is a Fellow of the Academy of Engineering and the Past President of Singapore Structural Steel Society. His research interest is on steel and composite structures with applications to offshore and marine, protective, and building structures. He provided specialist advice to the design of tall buildings and complex steel structures. He is a key person responsible for the development of codes of practices of steel and composite structures in Singapore.
