 Brief Resume of A. H-S. Ang 

Dr. Ang is currently Research Professor and Professor Emeritus at the University of California in Irvine, California, USA. He is also Professor Emeritus at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign since 1988 where he received his Ph.D. in 1959 and was on the  Faculty of Civil Engineering from 1959 through 1988. His main area of research is on the application of probability and reliability in civil and structural engineering, with emphasis on safety of engineering systems, including seismic risk and earthquake engineering, quantitative risk assessment (QRA) and life-cycle cost consideration. He has published over 350 papers and articles, and also a two-volume textbook on probability concepts in engineering, which have been translated into several languages; the 2^nd edition of Vol I was published in February 2006.

He is active in several engineering societies particularly in the American Society of Civil Engineers where he served as International Director on the Board of Directors in 1998-2001, and as Chair of numerous technical committees including the Structural and Engineering Mechanics Divisions executive committees. He is currently the ASCE representative to the Asian Civil Engineering Coordinating Council (ACECC). He is also a Fellow of the ASME (American Society of Mechanical Engineers), Associate Fellow of the AIAA (American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics), a founding member of IASSAR (International Association of Structural Safety and Reliability), Honorary President of IALCCE (International Association of Life-Cycle Civil Engineering), and a member of several other professional and scientific societies. He is a member of the US National Academy of Engineering (elected in 1976).
