Waleed’s Efforts Rewarded with ‘The FCE Awards for Outstanding PhD Theses 2018/19’

1 Sep 2019


Always, it is a great delight to empower our students to fulfill their potential and see their achievements!

 

“My project aimed to counter the occupational hazards, i.e. health and safety of construction workers, by using contemporary safety informatics to identify the risk factors and explore their mitigation strategies. It also explored rebar tying as an example which is one of the most strenuous demand in the construction trade,” says Dr Waleed Umer,    our    PhD    graduate.    Under  Prof.  Li  Heng’s supervision, Dr Umer’s project has substantiated the effectiveness of  safety  informatics  in  enhancing  the  understanding  of  various aspects   of   occupational   hazards. It could help derive better solutions and technologies to ensure a sustainable workforce.

 

It is no wonder that Dr Umer’s project tilted ‘Biomechanical Evaluation & Mitigation of Occupational Safety Hazards related to Manual  Rebar  Tying’  was  selected  in  ‘The  FCE  Awards  for Outstanding PhD Theses 2018/19’ as a mark of appreciation for its excellence and his exceptional presentation in early September.

 

In his current capacity as a part-time research associate, Dr Umer furthers his research interest and efforts in Prof. Li’s team.
