Dr Zongjun Li

Dr Zongjun Li (Joe) is accredited to supervise PhD students as the Primary Supervisor. His research interests cover a wide range of topics in structural engineering, concrete, FRP composites, hybrid structures, impact dynamics, blast, explosives.

PhD candidates with exceptional academic scores and good publication records are encouraged to contact me. Scholarships over $37,000 per annum are available for high-achieving students (with H1/High Distinction in their undergraduate program and/or a Masters by Research degree) in engineering or relevant sciences under my supervision. In addition, I accept PhD students who plan to apply for scholarships from the China Scholarship Council (CSC). Highly recommend domestic students and CSC students to contact.

I am also happy to host visiting PhD students and academic visitors.

Current topics:

1. Exploration of sustainable high performance engineered geopolymer composites under extreme conditions.
2. Exploration of sustainable cementitious composites with spent coffee grounds for various applications.
3. Study of lithium-ion based battery subjected to extreme conditions.
4. Deep learning-based methods for damage assessment of hybrid FRP-concrete structures.
5. Study of hybrid FRP-concrete / FRP bar reinforced advanced sustainable concrete to extreme loadings.
