About Luming

Luming received his Bachelor's and Master's degrees from Tongji University in China and his Ph.D. degree from the University of Missouri-Columbia in USA. He was a structural engineer (building structures design) in Shanghai Research Institute of Building Sciences, China, from April 1997 to August 1999. Prior to joining Monash University in January 2006, he was a post-doctoral fellow at the University of Missouri-Columbia. He joins us at The University of Sydney as Senior Lecturer in July 2008.

Luming currently holds an ARC Discovery Grant on the topic of 'Multi-Scale Model-Based Simulation of Glass Fragmentation under Blast Loading'.
