Professor Jin Gan is a Professor and Doctoral Supervisor at the School of Naval Architecture, Ocean and Energy Power Engineering, Wuhan University of Technology, and a young top-notch talent at Wuhan University of Technology. He received his Ph.D. degree in Ocean Engineering Structure from Wuhan University of Technology in 2012, and later conducted research as a visiting scholar at the University of Bristol, UK. His research focuses on the safety and reliability of ship and ocean engineering structures, including fatigue strength assessment and life extension technology, structural health monitoring, safety evaluation of river-sea ships and large cruise ships, underwater structure detection, flexible structure applications in ocean engineering, offshore wind power installation, and marine engineering model testing. Professor Gan has published more than 30 papers in leading journals such as International Journal of Fatigue and Engineering Fracture Mechanics, with multiple papers indexed by SCI. He has also authored a monograph series on river-sea ships and holds over 10 authorized invention patents, including three commercialized patents. His research has been supported by 2 National Natural Science Foundation of China projects and 3 national high-tech ship projects. Notably, his work on fatigue damage mechanisms under variable amplitude loads and shot peening technology for welding joints has contributed to advancing structural safety in extreme marine environments.
