He obtained his doctorate degree from the University of Tokyo, Japan in 1985.He specializes in the area of structural concrete and composites and has taught courses in reinforced and prestressed concrete design at both undergraduate and postgraduate levels. He has carried out extensive research on concrete beams with transverse openings, external prestressing, fibre-reinforced polymer (FRP) reinforcement and systems, and fibre-reinforced concrete. He has published more than 300 refereed technical papers, a book entitled “Beams with Openings: Analysis & Design” (CRC Press LLC, USA, 1999), and edited the proceedings of the 6th International Symposium on FRP Reinforcement for Concrete Structures (World Scientific, 2003). He is also the author of the Design Guide for Fibre-Reinforced Concrete Structures to Singapore Standard SS 674:2021.Professor Tan is a Fellow of the Institution of Engineers, Singapore (IES), Japan Concrete Institute, and Japan Society of Civil Engineers. He is also a registered professional engineer in Singapore and has been a consultant in structural engineering to several agencies in Singapore and the region.
