| Biography |
| Dr. Cheng Nian-Sheng is an Associate Professor in the School of Civil and Environmental Engineering. He previously worked as a Research Engineer at Nanjing Hydraulic Research Institute and an Assistant Research Professor at the Technical University of Denmark. His research interests include hydraulics and sediment transport, with special emphasis on particle-flow interactions and their applications in environmental and river processes. Prof Cheng has published more than 60 journal papers. He is the recipient of Scientific and Technological Achievement (1992, 2nd Class), Ministry of Transportation, China; and The Karl Emil Hilgard Hydraulic Prize (2005), American Society of Civil Engineers, USA. |
| Research Interests |
| Prof Cheng Nian-Sheng's areas of expertise are hydraulics, sediment transport and turbulence. His current research works focus on open channel flows with vegetation, turbulent flows over dune-covered bed, and simultaneous measurements of two-phase flows. |
