Mike Yongjun Tan Author

Mike Yongjun Tan, PhD, is Professor of Applied Electrochemistry and Corrosion Technology at Deakin University in Australia. Dr Tan’s principal professional interests are in corrosion science and engineering and their applications for enhancing the reliability and durability of civil and industrial infrastructures. He has actively engaged with the energy pipelines, future fuels and offshore infrastructure industries and has led more than 30 research projects over the past decade to address critical engineering issues that affect the reliability and durability of underground pipelines and offshore oil & gas infrastructures. Results from these research projects have included the review and subsequent revision of industry standards and the development of a corrosion monitoring and control system for pipelines. He is an author of over 250 referred publications and has received NACE Fellowship ‘in recognition of distinguished contributions in the field of corrosion and its prevention’. He is also the Asia Pacific Editor for the Corrosion Engineering, Science and Technology. Dr Tan has developed and taught educational and training courses including ‘Materials Performance and Durability’, ‘Corrosion Engineering’, ‘Applied Chemistry’, ‘Corrosion Chemistry’ and ‘Flowline Corrosion’ during his various academic appointments.
