Teaching

Prof Jingzhe Pan lectures Solid Mechanics in levels 1 and Advanced Finite Element Analysis in level 4 and MSc. His lectures cover theories of beam, torsion and pressure vessels; energy methods and variational principles; constitutive laws (such as plasticity and creep of engineering materials); mechanics of composite materials; advanced topics and case studies of finite element analysis.

Administration

Prof Jingzhe Pan is the Director of Research for the College of Science of Engineering. The College comprises seven research-led departments: Chemistry, Computer Science, Engineering, Geography, Geology, Mathematics, Physics & Astronomy. He chairs the College Research & Enterprise Committee and represents the College at the University Research & Enterprise Committee.

Brief biography

EDUCATION: Professor Jingzhe Pan received his BSc in Applied Mechanics from Shenyang University of Technology in 1982, MSc in Computational Mechanics from Dalian University of Technology in 1985 and PhD in Mechanics of Composite Materials  from Shanghai Jiao-Tong University in 1988. 

ACADEMIC CAREER: In 1990 Jingzhe Pan was a visiting fellow at the Civil Engineering Department of Liverpool University, working on impact damage of concrete structures. From 1991 to 1994, he was a postdoctoral research fellow at the Engineering Department of Cambridge University, working on creep failure of engineering materials. From 1994 to 2006, he was a Lecturer, Senior Lecturer and then Reader at the University of Surrey. His research at Surrey was focused on sintering science and technology. In 2006, he joined the University of Leicester to take up a Chair in Mechanics of Materials.
