Welcome Prof. Yuchen Song

We are thrilled to announce that Prof. Yuchen Song has officially joined us as an Assistant Professor!

Prof. Song is a world-class researcher specializing in structural engineering and advanced materials. His work focuses on applying high-performance metallic materials—like 3D-printed metals, stainless steels, and shape memory alloys—to build a more sustainable and resilient future for engineering structures.

He has published over 40 peer-reviewed articles in leading international journals and, as a principal investigator, has secured competitive research grants totalling over HKD 4.9 million. His research excellence has been recognised through multiple awards, including the Best Steel Structures Paper Award at the ASCCS 2024 Conference. Prof. Song serves as a Guest Editor of Steel and Composite Structures and has co-organised and chaired five special sessions at leading international conferences in structural engineering. He received his PhD from the University of Sydney. Prior to joining CityUHK, he was a Marie Skłodowska-Curie Postdoctoral Fellow at Imperial College London and a Postdoctoral Fellow at The Hong Kong Polytechnic University under the RGC Junior Research Fellow Scheme.

Please join us in giving Prof. Song a warm welcome to the CityUHK family! We can't wait to see the incredible impact of his research and leadership.
