About Le Li

Le's research interest covers a wide range from durability assessment, reliability assessment, built environment, and construction management.

For corrosion and reliability assessment, Le has been working on corrosion model development and reliability assessment of steel structures subjected to corrosion during PhD in civil engineering (2014 to 2018). Afterward, he continued to work on the durability assessment of structures under different loading and corrosion combined environments (2018 to 2019). Also, Le has been working on system reliability assessment and risk assessment of structures using artificial intelligence techniques since 2021.

For built environment and construction management discipline, Le has used life cycle assessment in the circular economy for the built environment since 2018. He was also working on the performance of concrete blocks filled with industry and agriculture waste since 2019. The work includes comprehensive mechanical testing and microstructural analysis.

Apart from research experiences, Le also has industry experience working as a project coordinator at a construction company. The work focuses on quality management, health and safety management, and defect management.
