Prof. XIAN Xiangping (冼向平)

Dr. Xiangping XIAN started his research career at Shenzhen University with the assistance of Prof. Biqin DONG and Prof. Wujian LONG, and attained his Master degree and Ph.D. in Civil Engineering from McGill University in 2017 and 2021 respectively. In 2023, he was also one of the Marie Sklodowska-Curie Future Roads Fellow recipients under the supervision of Prof. Abir AI-Tabbaa from Cambridge University. Before joining the Department of Architecture and Civil Engineering (ACE) at CityU, he worked as a full-time postdoctoral researcher at McGill University for more than 2 years, supervised by Prof. Yixin SHAO. In the meantime, he was also a part-time postdoctoral Research Assoicate under the administration of Prof. Daman PANESAR at the University of Toronto.

Dr. Xian's research is mainly about producing green and functional cement-based products made from OPC, industrial waste (i.e., steel slag), municipal solid waste incineration (MSWI) residues, concrete waste, etc., through Carbon, Capture, Utilization, and Storage (CCUS) aiming to make contributions to both environmental protection and sustainable development. Beyond that, Prof. Xian is also interested in automation construction, 3D printing of green construction materials, the engineering application of durable materials and so on.

Currently, he also serves as one Technical Committee for both Code for Practice for Structure Use of Concrete and Code for Practice for Dead and Imposed Loads under Building Department in Hong Kong.
