Biography

Dr Cuong Dao (BSc '06, MSc '09, & PhD '16) obtained his PhD in Reliability and Maintenance Engineering from the University of Alberta, Canada. Prior to joining Bradford University, he was a Post-Doctoral Research Associate at the Department Engineering, Durham University (2018-2020) and a Postdoc Researcher at the University of Twente, The Netherlands (2016-2018). He also served as a Mechanical Engineer at Canon Vietnam Ltd. and Reliability Engineer at Enmax Generation Canada. 

I am currently a Programme Leader (UG/MEng) in Mechanical Engineering and an active researcher in the reliability, asset management, operation and maintenance management of mechanical engineering and sustainable energy systems. If you are passionate about doing research in this area or having any questions related to our programmes, you can always reach me at d.c.dao@bradford.ac.uk.

Research

Dr Cuong Dao research focuses on reliability modelling and maintenance management of mechanical engineering and renewable energy systems. He has rich experience in working with industry and bringing academic research to practice through his current and previous research projects as well as his past role as an engineer. He has involved in several interdisciplinary research projects in offshore wind energy, power system maintenance, asset lifecycle management, AI and reliability-based optimisation of automotive components. He has papers published in Reliability Engineering & System Safety, IEEE Transactions on Reliability, Wind Energy, Journal of Infrastructure Systems, and Journal of Transportation Engineering and is a reviewer for several journals & academic conferences in the field of Mechanical, Reliability, Maintenance, and Renewable Energy Engineering.
