Biography
Professor CHAN ENG SOON joined NUS as a Senior Tutor in 1981 immediately after his Bachelor’s Degree. He was subsequently awarded a NUS Overseas Scholarship to pursue doctoral studies at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. He returned to the Department of Civil Engineering, NUS, with a Doctor of Science in Hydrodynamics in 1985 and has since been teaching in the Department. In 1995, he was appointed Head of the Physical Oceanography Research Laboratory, a laboratory set up to pursue research on coastal and offshore processes pertaining to tropical marine waters. Since then, he has also been appointed as the Director of the Tropical Marine Science Institute, Head of Civil Engineering Department and Executive Director of Centre for Offshore Research and Engineering.
Professor Chan’s research interests and activities are focussed on marine processes, including marine hydrodynamics, wave-structure interactions, sediment transport and coastal protection. He attributes his research interests to his love of the sea, where he spent many years windsurfing and sailing. In more recent years, Professor Chan has also focussed on the study of tidal hydrodynamics and circulation in tropical waters, with a special emphasis on Singapore waters. Following his experimental work on breaking waves, he pursues active research in the theoretical modelling of bubble entrainment, bubble acoustics, and turbulence intensities associated with surface wave breaking. These concepts are incorporated into three-dimensional hydrodynamic models for the enhanced prediction of tidal mixing and transport. Such circulation models are used to describe the transport of contaminants and other materials in environmental impact assessment studies. The area of impact assessment is expected to become more important in the light of recent interests in water reclamation and desalination, coupled to the increased coastal developments and shipping in the region.
The culmination of Professor Chan’s research activities has been the formation of the Physical Oceanography Research Laboratory (PORL). PORL has successfully developed the capabilities needed to monitor and model major marine processes in tropical seas, including the prediction of physical, chemical and biological parameters in tropical waters. PORL has also developed capabilities in oceanographic surveys, including water quality monitoring and the development of underwater instrumentation (in collaboration with the Acoustic Research Laboratory). With the focus on offshore engineering in Singapore, Professor Chan has recently gone back into his earlier favorite topic - extreme wave loadings on offshore structures.
