Biography
Dr Ee Loon Tan joined the School of Engineering at University of Western Sydney as a Lecturer in February 2011 after he received his PhD degree from University of Western Sydney in 2010. His PhD was titled: "The effects of partial shear connection on composite steel-concrete beams subjected to combined flexure and torsion." Previously, he graduated from University of New South Wales with both a Bachelor degree in Civil Engineering and a Master degree in Structural Engineering from 1999 to 2004. During his studies, he has worked for CPG Corporation Pte Ltd (Singapore) as an Engineering Trainee in the Civil and Structural Engineering Division from 2001 to 2002. Furthermore, he held a position as a Research Assistant to assist in an Australian Research Council (ARC) Discovery Project from 2009 to 2011 in University of Western Sydney under the supervision of Professor Brian Uy.

Research
Dr Tan’s area of research is mostly concentrated on the behaviour and strength of composite steel-concrete structures subjected to combined loading actions such as axial, shear, flexure and torsion. These forms of structures can be found in highways, bridges and high-rise buildings. Therefore, by using both experimental testing and finite element modelling, design models and guidelines can be proposed to improve the existing Australian Standards for composite steel-concrete structures. In addition, Dr Tan has developed interests in the design of semi-continuous composite steel-concrete beams, which are commonly found in all frame systems. These semi-continuous beams consist of continuous beams connected by a semi-rigid composite joint such as a flush end-plate connection.
