Dr Deming Zhu received his Ph.D. degree in Civil Engineering from The Hong Kong Polytechnic University in 2023. Working at the intersection of structural engineering, coastal engineering, and infrastructure resilience, his research focuses on the performance, vulnerability, and life-cycle resilience of coastal bridges under extreme wave and multi-hazard conditions. Before being appointed as a Research Fellow, Dr Zhu worked as a postdoctoral researcher at PolyU for three years. His current research bridges experimental investigation, numerical simulation, and data-driven approaches, with an emphasis on wave–bridge interaction, bridge resilience under cascading hazards, and intelligent predictive maintenance of civil infrastructure.
Dr Zhu has reported on 13 July 2026.
