丁院士曾先後擔任東北大學校長、華中科技大學校長。現兼任國家自然科學基金委管理學部主任。丁院士長期致力於数字建造、工程安全理論與技術研究,構建数字建造技術體系,提出工程安全風險“能量-耦合”理論,創建工程安全風險“識、警、控”技術體系,並在地鐵、石化等工程中廣泛應用。丁院士獲两項國家科技進步二等獎及復旦管理學傑出貢獻獎,主持编纂的數字建造叢書獲中國政府圖書出版獎。

Ding Lieyun is a Professor at Huazhong University of Science and Technology, an Academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, and the Chief Scientist of the National Innovation Centre for Digital Construction Technology. He has previously servedas the President of Northeastern University and Huazhong University of Scienceand Technology. Currently, he also holds the position of Director of the Department of Management at the National Natural Science Foundation of China.

Professor Ding has been dedicated to the research of digital construction and engineering safety theory and technology for a considerable period. He has constructed adigital construction technology system, proposed the 'energy-coupling' theory for engineering safety risk, and created a 'knowledge, warning, and control'technology system for engineering safety risk management. These innovationshave seen wide application in metro, petrochemical, and other projects.

Professor Ding's contributions have been recognized with two second prizes for nationalscientific and technological progress, the Fudan Award for OutstandingContribution to Management, and the Chinese Government Book Publishing Awardfor the Digital Construction Series he has edited and compiled.

Risk Management Models: Prof. Lieyun Ding has developed advanced risk management models for subways, tunnels, and large public spaces, focusing on systematic hazard identification and mitigation.

Data-Driven Systems: His work involves using data analysis and simulation to create dynamic, quantifiable risk management systems that predict and respond to potential incidents in complex environments.

To This Project: These experiences will be crucial in guiding the fire risk assessment and safety strategies for Hong Kong's old buildings.
