Biography

Professor Thiru Aravinthan is a Professor of Structural Engineering within the Centre for Future Materials (CFM) at the University of Southern Queensland (UniSQ). After obtaining the BScEng (Hons) degree from the University of Peradeniya in 1991, he pursued his postgraduate studies at Saitama University, Japan obtaining the Master of Engineering and Doctor of Engineering. He then worked as a Senior Research Engineer at DPS Bridge Works, Tokyo for three years and involved in the R&D of the award winning innovative bridge. He joined UniSQ in 2002.

Prof Aravinthan is a Charted Professional Engineer and Fellow of Engineers Australia and a registered Professional Engineer at Oregon State, USA. His expertise includes fibre composites structures, prestressed concrete technology, structural rehabilitation and engineering education. He is actively involved in national and international organisations including Engineers Australia, Composite Australia and Council Member of International Institute for FRP in Construction. He has over 30 years of engineering experience in the industry, research and academia and involved in several industry funded projects. He was awarded the USQ Award for Excellence in Research in 2003 (Early Career) and 2009 (Open Category) and several other teaching excellence awards. He was part of the team that was awarded the prestigious JEC Europe 2014 Innovation Award in the oil and gas category for the development of a novel composite clamp for pipeline repair.
