Biography
Low Ying Min is currently an Assistant Professor at Nanyang Technological University, School of Civil and Environmental Engineering, having joined in January 2007. He obtained his MEng (with 1st class hons) in Civil Engineering from Imperial College, London, and obtained his PhD from the University of Cambridge under the NTU Overseas Scholarship. He was previously a research engineer at the Institute of High Performance Computing, and a Senior Engineer at Keppel FELS. His research focuses on aspects of offshore engineering, such as dynamic analysis, wave loads, floating structures and mooring/riser systems.

Prof Low is in the organizing committee of the “Structures, Safety, and Reliability” symposium of the annual OMAE conference. In particular, he is co-organizing a new session on “Reliability of mooring systems” for OMAE 2012 to be held in Brazil.
