Dejian Shen is Professor at the College of Civil and Transportation Engineering, Hohai University. He has published 2 monograph, more than 160 papers including over 100 SCI-indexed papers (8 ESI highly cited papers and 2 ESI hot paper), and more than 90 patents.His research interests include• Assessment, control, and repair of early-age cracks in reinforced concrete structures• Seismic performance and design method for prefabricated construction• FRP technology for repairing damaged and corroded reinforced concrete structures• Quantum chemical simulation, molecular dynamics simulation, and multiscale simulation for concrete.Dr. Xin Wang is Postdoctoral Researcher at the College of Civil and Transportation Engineering, Hohai University. With a Ph.D. from Hohai University, he has dedicated his career to unraveling the mysteries of construction materials and structures. Driven by a deep curiosity, he has published several high-level research papers on the hydration mechanisms and properties of tricalcium silicate. Through his work, he aims to make complex scientific concepts accessible to a wider audience.
