My China Trip: April 04 -14, 2024. Beijing and Tianjin

I attended two workshops at Beihang University in Beijing and Tianjin University in Tianjin with my dear colleague Dr. Arris Tijsseling of Eindhoven University upon the invitation of our beloved colleague Dr. Qingzhi Hou (Darcy), who is an Assoc.Prof. at the Civil Engineering Department of Tianjin University in China.  Our dear colleagues Dr. Jose G. Vasconcelos of Auburn University in the US and Dr. Janek Laanearu of Tallinn University in Estonia joined the second workshop online. I have met many distinguished Chinese researchers, some of whom I may cite here, Prof. David Zhiwei Zhu of the University of Alberta & Ningbo University, Prof. Xiaodong Yu of Hohai University, Senior Engineer Jianghai Wu at China Ship Scientific Research Center, Wuxi, China, Dr. Shangjie Ren of Tianjin University, Prof. Jianmin Zhang of Sichuan University, Assoc.Prof. Dongming Liu of Tianjin University. Of course, many bright Master’s and Ph.D. students are also on my list. I apologize for not being able to provide their names.
