Dr. Lin-Hai Han is President of Guangxi University, and a Tenured Professor at Tsinghua University, China. Han’s research interests focus on structural engineering, with a particular emphasis on steel- concrete composite and hybrid structures, leading to the establishment of a life-cycled-based theory and design methodology for concrete-filled steel tubular (CFST) structures. He is among the top 4 scientists for Career-Long Impact in the field of Civil Engineering, as recognized by the latest Stanford/Elsevier’s World’s Ranking of the Top 2% Scientists. He serves on the editorial boards of most of the leading journals in his field. He was elected a Fellow of IStructE in 2014 and is entitled to use the title "Chartered Structural Engineer". He is also a Fellows of the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) and the Institution of Civil Engineers (ICE). He is the founding Chair of the Subcommittee of Steel-Concrete Composite and Hybrid Structures (ISO/TC 71/SC 9), International Organization for Standardization (ISO). The practical applications of His research outcomes have been far-reaching and widely adopted in the design of record-breaking construction projects. He has been leading the development of standards based on his research outcomes. He is the editor-in-chief of 9 design standards on CFST structures, including the Chinese National Standard GB/T 51446-2021, and the ISO Standard ISO 16521:2024 Design of Concrete-Filled Steel Tubular (CFST) Hybrid Structures.
