Civil Engineering Professor invited to deliver prestigious lecture
Professor Yang Jun of the Department of Civil Engineering has been selected as the Zeng Guoxi Lecturer 2022, in recognition of his achievements in the field of geotechnical engineering.
The named lecture series, established in 2007, is to mark the great contributions of the late Professor Zeng Guoxi, one of China’s pioneers in geotechnical research, education and practice and the founding leader of the geotechnical program at Zhejiang University, who joined the university’s faculty shortly after his postgraduate studies at the Northwestern University in the US in 1950. It is a great honour for Professor Yang to be added to the list of Zeng Guoxi Lecturers which is comprised of prominent academics and researchers from around the world including seven distinguished members of Chinese Academies of Sciences and Engineering.
