Associate Professor in Civil Engineering
About
I am currently an associate professor in Civil Engineering at Kingston University, a post I have held since 2015, as well as a senior fellow of the Higher Education Academy (SFHEA). I am a chartered engineer (CEng) with the Institution of Civil Engineers (ICE).
I graduated with a BSc in Building Technology in Malaysia and was awarded the Book Prize for best performance in 1999. I received my PhD in Civil Engineering from the University of Strathclyde in Glasgow in 2007 after obtaining an MSc in Facilities Design and Planning from the same University.
As part of my PhD, I worked as a research assistant, funded by Onyx Environmental Trust Fund, and my thesis was among the early pioneering research on rubberised concrete.
After completing my doctorate, I was employed again as a research assistant on an EPSRC-funded project, Application of Low Density Aircrete Products in 2006 here at Kingston University where I subsequently began my academic career as a Lecturer in 2007.
