  Dr Leong Hien POH is an Associate Professor in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at the National University of Singapore. He obtained his B.Eng. and M.Eng. degrees from the National  University of Singapore in 2003 and 2005 respectively. Before pursuing his PhD, he had worked in the Building and Construction Authority (Business Development Division). He received his Ph.D. in 2011 under a joint degree program between the National University of Singapore and the Eindhoven University of Technology. Dr Poh is interested in developing material models that bridge across the micro and macro scales – where fine-scale fluctuations are incorporated efficiently at the coarse-scale for engineering applications. His research topics include mechanics of materials, damage mechanics, higher-order continua, multi-scale methods and homogenization techniques.

• Dr Hongjian DU
