Description

Professor Li Qiusheng, Chair Professor in the Department of Architecture and Civil Engineering at City University of Hong Kong (CityU), has been awarded the 2020 Robert H. Scanlan Medal by the American Society of Civil Engineering (ASCE).

He received the prestigious award for his “outstanding contributions to wind engineering and structural mechanics from fundamental research to engineering applications”.

“I feel deeply honoured to receive this prestigious award and I am grateful to CityU for supporting my research over the years. It shows international recognition for CityU’s academic achievements and standing,” said Professor Li, who is internationally renowned for his contributions to wind engineering, industrial aerodynamics, structural dynamics and mechanics. He is the 13th recipient of this prestigious ASCE award since its introduction in 2003.

The ASCE medal is presented to an individual every year in recognition of cumulative distinguished achievements and contributions to engineering mechanics based on scholarly contributions to both theory and practice.
