Biography
Biography
Dr Shanshan Cheng obtained her PhD in Structural Engineering in 2015. She has been extensively working in the field of structural analysis and design of steel and steel-concrete composite structures over the past decade, which has led to over 20 peer-reviewed journal paper publications. Since joining Plymouth University as a lecturer, she has extended her research interests to marine structures, focusing on composite material charactersations, durability and survivability of offshore floating platforms. She has worked on several projects funded by EPSRC, EU, industrial partners and international funding bodies. Currently she is the PI of an EU funded H2020-RISE project – TRAC (Tailor-made Recycled Aggregate Concretes) investigating recycling solutions for demolished concrete materials, in particular marine concretes.
