ASSISTANT PROFESSOR
CIVIL AND ENVIRONMENTAL ENGINEERING
KSC Kuang - POF research, Plastic optical fiber and sensors
An Assistant Professor since 2010 at the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineeering, I conduct research in the area of structural health monitoring, in particular damage detection in engineering structures using optical fibre sensors. My interest also include development of low-cost, ease-to-use sensor technologies and methods for application in the industry. I have commercialised an optical fibre sensor educational kit which is presently used in a number of schools in Singapore and holds a patent on an extrinsic plastic optical fibre sensor and filed another patent for damage or deformation detection based on chemiluminescence. I have been invited to speak at various conferences and venues such as the 20th International Plastic Optical Fibre Conference 2011 in Bilboa (Spain), JEC Innovative Composites Summit 2011 (Singapore), Institute of Engineers Singapore, Science at the Cafe @ Singapore Science Centre 2007, Housing Development Board SHM 2014.

The Livery Companies of the City of London started as Craft Guilds, originally for social and religious interchange, but increasingly for the protection and improvement of their craft.
In 1322, in the reign of King Edward II, the Guild of St George of the Armourers was instituted, by ordinance of the City of London, which laid down regulations for the control of the trade. King Henry VI presented the Armourers with their first Royal Charter in May 1453.
The Company's present Charter was granted in 1708 by Queen Anne, giving the Brasiers (workers in brass and copper), who had become involved with the Company as early as the 16th century, equal status with the Armourers.
As the Armourers to the Services, the Company played a special role in the defence of the City. Its connections with the Armed Forces persist to this day, particularly through the award of prizes for excellence to young service personnel. It also has long traditions of charity and hospitality
