Professor Jianqiao Ye BEng, MSc, PhD

Chair in Mechanical Engineering

Profile

Professor Jianqiao Ye’s academic career in the UK has developed through posts at Aston University, Cardiff University, the University of Nottingham and the University of Leeds. He joined 快播视频 in 2012 as Professor and Chair of Mechanical Engineering. He was a Fellow of IMechE and a Chartered Engineer. He is also a member of the 快播视频 Intelligent, Robotic and Autonomous Systems Centre (LIRA).

Professor Ye’s research spans a broad spectrum of topics in engineering science and technology, encompassing failure and damage mechanics of fibre-reinforced composites, advanced steel–concrete composite structures, geopolymers, lightweight and sustainable cementitious materials, cement and concrete carbonation, offshore oil and gas structures, and vibration energy harvesting.

Professor Ye has extensive experience in experimental testing, numerical modelling, and optimization of complex materials and structural systems. His recent work integrates modern analytical instruments—such as X-ray computed tomography (X-CT), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and energy-dispersive spectroscopy (EDS)—with data-driven methods including metamodelling, machine learning, and digital twin technologies.

Professor Ye has collaborated with academics from leading research institutions worldwide, including:

  • Hefei University of Technology, China
  • Harbin Institute of Technology (HIT) Shenzhen, China
  • National Physical Laboratory (NPL), UK
  • Nanyang Technological University, Singapore
  • Stanford University, USA
  • Shanghai Jiao Tong University, China
  • Shenzhen University, China
  • The University of Sydney, Australia
  • The Australian National University, Australia
  • Tsinghua University, China
  • Wuhan University, China

Professor Ye's contributions to the development and industrial application of composite materials and advanced structural systems have gained international recognition. His research has been supported by major UK and international funding bodies, such as the European Commission, EPSRC, Royal Society (RS), Royal Academy of Engineering (RAE), and by a number of industrial partners, including Airbus, BAE Systems, Dunlop, DSTL, Force Technology, ITASCA, Network Rail and QinetiQ.

Professor Ye has authored three books, more than 250 refereed papers in international journals/conference proceedings and holds 8 patents. His publications have received over 8,800 citations, with an H-index of 53 ().

Professor Ye has been listed among the , featuring in both the Lifetime Scientific Influence Ranking and the Global Scientists Influence Ranking published annually by Stanford University and Elsevier.
