The Hong Kong Polytechnic University
Associate Professor in Hydraulic and Water Resources
About
Dr. Huan-Feng Duan (HF Duan) is currently an Associate Professor in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering of the Hong Kong Polytechnic University. He received his Ph.D. in Urban Hydraulics and Water Resources from the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, with PhD Research Excellence Award in Engineering. Dr. Duan’s research focuses mainly on the urban hydraulics, including topics: (1) pipe fluid transients and open channel flow dynamics; (2) urban asset management (pipe defects detection and water distribution system analysis); (3) environmental fluid mechanics (water quality assessment and urban flooding risk analysis). Dr. Duan has published over 100 journal articles (over 90 in the SCI-indexed journals) and more than 30 international conference papers (e.g., organized by IWA, IAHR and ASCE). He has also led and participated in many key research projects and grants from different funding bodies in Hong Kong and Mainland China. Dr. Duan is currently serving as the Editor-in-Chief for the journal of Engineering Applications of Computational Fluid Mechanics (2020-IF = 9.391) and IWA–AQUA Journal (2020-IF = 1.644); and the Executive Committee of IAHR-HK (since 2014). He is active member of IAHR and ASCE.
