Prof. Yong Bai received a doctorate from Hiroshima University, Japan, and engaged in postdoctoral work in the field of ship and ocean engineering at Danish Technical University, Norwegian University of Science and Technology, and California Berkeley University. He is an elected member of the Norwegian Academy of Technological Sciences and a Fellow of the Society of Naval Architects and Marine Engineers. He served as a professor at the University of Stavanger and Harbin Engineering University. Now he is a Professor and Doctoral Supervisor at the College of Civil Engineering and Architecture, Zhejiang University, Hangzhou, China. He has a wealth of engineering experience and management skills. He worked in Det Norske Veritas, American Bureau of Shipping, Norway JP Kenny Company, American Shell Oil Company, and MCS Company in the USA. He has presided over dozens of large projects in ship structure, submarine pipeline/riser, design of offshore platform structure, analysis, and risk assessment. He put forward the design concept of anti-buckling ability and ultimate load-caring capacity of deep-water submarine pipelines. He improved the design methods, analytical tools, and design standards of marine pipelines and reached an internationally leading level. His research results have been widely used in the engineering field.
