Ph.D. Candidate (MIT)

Welcome

Denvid Lau is currently a Ph.D. candidate in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering (CEE) at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). He obtained his first class honor Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees in Civil Engineering from the University of Hong Kong (HKU) and got his second Master degree in Structures and Materials from MIT. Denvid got various awards and scholarships during his undergraduate and graduate studies including the Croucher Foundation Scholarship 2006-2009 and the Marvin E. Goody Award 2007. He is currently named as one of the Harvey Fellows in 2011. His research focuses on the multi-scale modeling of organic-inorganic system, moisture-induced debonding, durability of concrete-epoxy system and fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) composites in structural rehabilitation. Denvid's Ph.D. research is on a topic with an objective of developing a powerful and totally new paradigm to study the interaction of multi-material systems with environment (moisture, temperature and chemicals) from the point of view of studying the effect of environmental factors on the deterioration and behavior of physical systems and materials.
