Rate My Professor Yeong Huei Lee

Dr. Yeong Huei Lee serves as Senior Lecturer and Research Cluster Head of Structures and Materials in the Department of Civil and Construction Engineering within the Faculty of Engineering and Science at Curtin University Malaysia, located at the Miri Campus in Sarawak. He obtained his PhD in Civil Engineering from Universiti Teknologi Malaysia (UTM) between 2010 and 2015, following his B.Eng (Hons) in Civil Engineering from the same university in 2010. His academic and research interests encompass cold-formed steel design, connection design, structural analysis, finite element methods, container house design, fire engineering, and application development in structures. Additionally, he specializes in concrete materials including lightweight concrete and machine learning algorithms, building engineering such as outdoor thermal comfort evaluation, urban design based on thermal comfort, sustainable passive energy design, and indoor air quality. Lee also contributes to engineering education through MOOC development and heutagogy learning approaches.

Lee has produced significant scholarly output, co-authoring books such as 'Eurocode 3: Design of Steel Structures' (2020), 'Design of Cold-Formed Steel Bolted Connection using Numerical Approach' (2017), and 'Structural steel design with Eurocode 3: Worked examples for open sections' (2022), all published by Penerbit UTM. Notable journal publications include 'Slag uses in making an ecofriendly and sustainable concrete: A review' (2021), 'Fibre-Reinforced Foamed Concretes: A Review' (2020), 'Thermal Performance of Structural Lightweight Concrete Composites for Potential Energy Saving' (2021), 'In-plane Sway Behaviour of Slender Cold-formed Steel Bolted Frames' (2017), and 'A Sustainable Reuse of Agro-Industrial Wastes into Green Cement Bricks' (2022). He received the Award of Excellence for Journal Publication in 2015 from the Faculty of Civil Engineering at UTM. Professionally, Lee is registered with the Board of Engineers Malaysia, holds graduate membership in the Institution of Engineers Malaysia since 2012, and is a corporate member of the Concrete Society of Malaysia. He has served on the scientific committee for GCoMSE 2017, conference committees for BBIM 2019 and ACE 2020, and as editorial board member and editor for the Journal of Architectural Environment & Structural Engineering Research from 2019 to 2022. Lee supervises higher degree by research students, including the completed project on modified ISO shipping containers for transitional shelter construction.
