Tingfa Liu is a Senior Lecturer at the University of Bristol specializing in Geotechnical Testing and Earthquake Geotechnical Engineering. His research focuses on developing and applying state-of-the-art sensing and testing techniques to investigate multi-scaled soil-foundation-structure interaction mechanisms of critical infrastructure subjected to extreme static and dynamic loading. Before joining the University of Bristol, he worked as a Post-Doctoral Research Associate at Imperial College London on an EPSRC-funded joint industry project. Tingfa holds a PhD from Imperial College, focusing on advanced laboratory testing of offshore pile foundations. His work has contributed to the PISA joint industry project, and he also holds an MPhil degree with distinction from Tsinghua University in China. His research group is based in the newly established UKCRIC SoFSI Laboratory, where he utilizes in-situ testing, constitutive modeling, and data-driven approaches. He has published extensively and is an editorial board member of the journal Géotechnique. Tingfa received the 2023 ASCE Outstanding Reviewer Award for his contributions to high-quality peer review in geotechnical engineering research.
