Biography

Dr Madhup Pandey is working as an Assistant Professor (Structural Engineering) in the Department of Civil Engineering at the University of Nottingham. He is affiliated to the Centre for Structural Engineering & Informatics (CSEI) Research Group. He teaches both undergraduate and postgraduate levels courses. He joined the University of Nottingham in October 2022. Prior to this, he worked as a Postdoctoral Fellow at The Hong Kong Polytechnic University, Hong Kong. Before entering the research domain, he worked as a Structural Engineer in SYSTRA MVA and Larsen & Toubro Limited in India from 2012 to 2014. His research outcomes have been published in top-tier SCI-indexed Q1 journals and peer-reviewed international conferences. As a principal and co-investigator, so far, he has secured various research funding.

Dr Pandey earned his Ph.D. degree in Structural Engineering from The University of Hong Kong in 2018 under the guidance of Ir Prof. Ben Young. He received his M.Sc. (Eng.) degree in Structural Engineering from The University of Hong Kong in 2015 with Distinction (Rank-1), where he was rewarded with the "Leung Ting Kui and Chow Che King Scholarship" for scoring the highest marks in the M.Sc. Structural Engineering programme (2014-15). He obtained his B.Eng. degree in Civil Engineering from the Jai Narain Vyas University, India, in 2012 with First Class First Honours (Rank-1/112). He won the "University Gold Medal" and "Alumni Gold Medal" for securing the first position in the Department of Civil Engineering throughout the B.Eng. (Civil) programme. He was also the recipient of the renowned state-level "Bhamashah Award" for achieving the first position in the B.Eng. (Civil) programme amongst all Universities in the state of Rajasthan (India) in 2012.
