Prof. Lu visited Tianjin University, Tianjian, China from 29 October to 31 October 2023.

This is the first time for Prof. Lu to visit Tianjin University and Tianjin municipality.

Two departments, including College of Management and Economics and Department of Hydraulic and Hydro-power Engineering, have a traditional link with us. They consistently sent graduates and young staff to us for doing PhD or Post-Doctoral Fellow (PDF) based on the “China Network” established 20 years ago. This trip Prof. Lu met with Prof. Shuibo Zhang, who was a PhD graduated from REC around 2000 year and is now a leader in construction and engineering management in China. He also met with some faculty members who have graduated from REC recently.

Prof. Lu then gave a talk on “BIM, i-Core, and blockchain for cross-border modular construction logistics and supply chain management” in the Department of Hydraulic and Hydro-power Engineering.

He also visited the Large-Scale Scientific Instrument – the 1.5 billion “National Facility for Earthquake Engineering Simulation”
