Professor Tan Kiang Hwee has been a faculty member of the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at the National University of Singapore (NUS) since July 1981. He obtained his doctorate degree from the University of Tokyo, Japan, in 1985. He specializes in the area of structural concrete and composites and has taught courses in reinforced and prestressed concrete design at both undergraduate and postgraduate levels. He has carried out extensive research on concrete beams with transverse openings, external prestressing, fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) reinforcement and systems, and fiber-reinforced concrete. He published a book entitled "Beams with Openings: Analysis & Design" (CRC Press LLC, USA, 1999), and edited the proceedings of the 6th International Symposium on FRP Reinforcement for Concrete Structures (World Scientific, 2003). He is also the author of the Design Guide for Fiber-Reinforced Concrete Structures to Singapore Standard SS 674:2021.
