Biography

Dr. Quang Le is a Senior Fire Safety Engineer with a robust background in both structural and fire safety engineering. With significant experience in the private sector, Dr Le has delivered fire safety strategies for diverse structures, including residential buildings, offices, warehouses, mixed-use buildings, childcare centres, and DHHS projects. Dr Le has applied his structural and fire engineering knowledge to provide performance-based solutions for a wide range of fire engineering problems.
During his academic experience, spanning six years as a Master by research and PhD student, Dr Le focused on concrete materials and structures performance under fire conditions using non-conventional testing setup. His expertise extends to conducting experiments utilising a range of tools, such as MTS machines, radiant panels, digital image cameras, thermocouples, heat flux gauges, and concrete materials/structures, demonstrating his theoretical and practical understanding of fire behaviour and structural responses. Dr Le’s research outcomes has been published in highly ranked journals, further solidifying his expertise.
Dr Le has an advanced knowledge in complex structural models as well as design and data analysis tools such as ANSYS, ABAQUS, SAP2000, FDS, FiRE and SAFIR. He also taught finite element method SAP2000 software at the university level.
Dr Le is committed to continuous improvement, actively upgrading his communication, presentation, and report-writing skills to complement his adept problem-solving abilities. His proven track record of managing numerous projects and consistently delivering comprehensive technical reports underscores his dedication, accountability, and proficiency in project management.
Outside of his professional endeavours, he focuses on building his family in Australia. Also, he has a strong passion in playing darts.
