Brief Bio

Dr Helong Wu received a Ph.D. degree from the University of Queensland in 2018 with the Dean’s Award for Outstanding HDR Theses. From January to November 2018, he was a Research Assistant at the same university and a visiting Research Officer at the RMIT University. He has been working with Mechanics of Functional Materials and Structures as an Associated Professor at the Zhejiang University of Technology, China from January 2019. He has published more than 50 international journal papers mainly on functionally graded nanocomposites and structures, morphing composite structures, as well as smart materials and structures.
