Dr. Bowen Xu is currently a lecturer (assistant professor) in the Department of Civil Engineering at XJTLU. He holds a BEng in Civil Engineering from the Dalian University of Technology in China and an MSc in Earthquake Engineering From Imperial College London in the U.K. He continued his research at Imperial College London and acquired his PhD degree working on the European Union Seventh Framework Programme FP7/2007-2013 within the project Anagennisi: Innovative Use of All Tyre Components in Concrete. He later worked as a post-doctoral researcher at the same institution, focusing on the experimental and numerical study of the comprehensive behaviour of cementitious composites incorporating sustainable components, such as rubber particles, vinyl banner plastics or polymer emulsions.
