Prof. Dayong Zhang🎓︎ China University of Petroleum (East China), China Bio: Dr. Dayong Li, Professor (Level III), is currently the Discipline Lead of Civil Engineering. He has long been engaged in scientific research and technological development in geotechnical engineering for marine energy. He serves as an external reviewer and panel reviewer for various science and technology awards and funding programmes. He innovatively proposed new types of marine foundations including the skirted suction foundation and bionic scaled suction foundation. He systematically investigated the penetration mechanism of suction foundations in complex strata, revealed their bearing capacity theories, and established a comprehensive design methodology for such foundations. His research outcomes have been widely applied to practical projects in China, such as offshore wind farms, offshore photovoltaics and marine oil and gas platforms. He has led five projects funded by the National Natural Science Foundation of China and three provincial and ministerial natural science foundation projects, and received four provincial and ministerial research awards. He spearheaded the establishment of research platforms including the Shandong Research Center for Marine Energy Geotechnical Engineering (2024), the Qingdao Key Laboratory of Marine Energy Geotechnical Engineering (2023), and the Qingdao Collaborative Innovation Center of Engineering Technology for Disaster Prevention and Mitigation of Marine Energy Equipment (2021), boosting regional innovation capacity in marine engineering.
