Associate Professor Jianguang Fang is a globally recognised research leader for his studies on computational algorithms that aim to design safer, lighter, and more sustainable materials and structures. His work helps engineers better understand how and when materials such as concrete or 3D-printed structures may crack or fail under extreme conditions, including high-speed impacts. By modelling these failure processes in detail, his research contributes to improving the safety and resilience of critical engineering structures – from buildings and bridges to vehicles and aerospace components.
Dr Fang also develops optimisation methods to guide the design of structures that use less material while remaining strong and crashworthy, supporting both human safety and potential reductions in carbon emissions. His research is shaping the next generation of resilient infrastructure and high-performance structures, with broad impact across automotive, transportation, civil and mechanical engineering.
