Dr. Shu-Qing Yang has dedicated his professional life to unlocking the challenge of
sediment - a major contributor to the reduction in supply of fresh water and which continually
reduces the storage capacity of large water bodies. Previously, he was a chair Professor at Tianjin
University, South China University of Technology, China and a Professor at Korea Maritime
University, South Korea, Principle Research Scientist at Maritime Research Centre of Nanyang
Technological University, Singapore. He holds a Master and a PhD degree in Water Resources and
Environmental Engineering from Nanjing Hydraulic Research Institute and Nanyang Technological
University, respectively. He has published more than 150 papers in journals, books and conference
proceedings. He has also granted 6 patents including coastal reservoirs that can pump freshwater
from the sea without desalination processes. He won three prestigious awards, one of the best paper
award was issued by IAHR-APD, the other one by American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE),
and one by National People's Congress of China. He is part of the GeoQuEST Research Centre - an
interdisciplinary team that focuses on environmental and climate change research. Dr. Yang has
been involved in the study of sediment transport and hydraulics for almost 20 years.
