About
Dr. Howard Ku
Independent Industrial Research & Thought Leadership
Dr. Howard Ku is an industrial practitioner, author and independent researcher focused on steel-pipe and pipeline lifecycle evidence, project execution and infrastructure integrity.
DrKu.net brings together his independently authored industrial research into one lifecycle knowledge architecture — a connected corpus of 33 versioned white papers spanning mill manufacture, qualification, procurement, mega-project execution, logistics, handover, operational integrity, digital evidence, AI-assisted analysis, lifecycle transition and end of life.
The work is grounded in professional industry experience across steel-pipe manufacturing, procurement and project execution. That experience is described factually and conservatively; it informs the research questions but does not determine their conclusions.
Current-role disclosure
Dr. Howard Ku currently serves as Sales Director at PCK Steel Pipe. This creates a potential professional and commercial interest in the broader steel-pipe sector, disclosed in full on the Independence & Disclosures page.
