Dr. Brydon Timothy Wang is a scholar working at the intersection of law, architecture, and emerging technologies, with a focus on building climate-resilient cities through trustworthy AI and construction technology. Dually qualified in law and architecture, his research examines the regulation of digital twins, smart construction contracts, and automated decision-making systems to support adaptive infrastructure and floating urbanism. Brydon was lead editor of Automating Cities: Design, Construction, Operation and Future Impact (Springer, 2021) and co-editor of Large Floating Structures: Technological Advances (Springer, 2015). He has held academic appointments in both law and architecture schools. Brydon now advises on major energy and infrastructure projects with KPMG, following a career in construction and technology law with global firm Allens Linklaters and more than 15 years of industry experience delivering award-winning public infrastructure.
Prof. C.M. Wang is Professor in Structural Engineering, The University of Queensland. He is a Fellow of Australian Academy of Technology and Engineering, a Member of the European Academy of Sciences and Arts, a Fellow of Academy of Engineering Singapore, a Fellow of Institution of Structural Engineers, and a Fellow of Society of Floating Solutions (Singapore). His research interests are in the areas of structural stability, vibration, optimization, plated structures and very large floating structures. He has published over 500 journal papers and co-authored 10 books such as Structures, Structural Vibration, Shear Deformable Beams and Plates and Exact Solutions for Buckling of Structural Members. He is an Editor‐in‐Chief of the International Journal of Structural Stability and Dynamics and an Editorial Board Member in several journals including Engineering Structures, International Journal of Applied Mechanics, Journal of Marine Science and Engineering and Shock and Vibration. Currently, he leads the Offshore Engineering Programme of the Blue Economy Cooperative Research Centre that conducts research projects that combine seafood, renewable energy and offshore engineering for the first time, underpinned by a $70 million cash investment from the Australian Government and $259 million from industry partners over a 10-year period.
