Professor of Coastal Engineering
School of Engineering

Professor Pan started his research career on coastal engineering at University of Liverpool and has continued at Plymouth University and currently at Cardiff University.

His research interests include physical and numerical modelling of coastal & estuarine processes, particularly related to offshore sandbanks, inlet/lagoon systems, nearshore coastal defence structures, beach nourishment. In recent years, he has also been working on modelling of large-scale waves/tides/surge prediction under extreme conditions, resource characterization for marine renewable energy and the impact of climate change on coasts and estuaries.

Since 2000, he has been Principal Investigator or Co-Investigator for some 22 research projects funded by various sources with more than £4m research funds, and have published more than 100 papers in international journals. His current Google Scholar H-index is 35 with over 3700 citations. He received the Halcrow Prize from the Institution of Civil Engineers (ICE) in 2007.

Currently, He is a member of the EPSRC peer-review college, Associate Editor for Forntiers of Marine Science (Coastal and Ocean Processes), Water Science and Engineering (WSE – 水科学与水工程), and a member of the editorial board of China Ocean Engineering. Previously, I served in the editorial board of the ICE Maritime Engineering Journal (2009-2012). He is an Environmental Partner member of CIWEM. and recnetly electeded the Fellow of Institution of Civil Engineers (FICE).

He has been invited to act as external examiner for PhD candidates in the UK and overseas universities, and reviwer for research proposals from the UK and overseas research councils, as well as for papers from a wide range of international journals. He has also developed strong international research collaborations and been frequently invited to give lectures in China, Taiwan and Japan.
