I am a postdoctoral scholar at the U.S. National Science Foundation’s NHERI-SimCenter based at the University of California, Berkeley, from where I also received my Ph.D. in civil engineering under the advisory of Prof. Matthew DeJong. During my Ph.D., I completed a research visit at the Norwegian Geotechnical Institute in Oslo, Norway. Previously, I received my master’s degree in civil engineering at UC Berkeley after graduating from the Civil and Environmental Engineering Department of the Hong Kong Polytechnic University.
Research Vision
My primary research interest is building resilient, sustainable, and smart infrastructure systems to withstand natural and human-induced hazards. Particularly, I aim to improve the accessibility and efficiency of advanced simulation and uncertainty quantification (UQ) for the assessment of infrastructure across scales, from individual buildings, transportation and lifeline systems, and interdependent urban infrastructure systems. To achieve these goals, I will employ advanced numerical modeling, uncertainty quantification, high-performance computing, and artificial intelligence (AI) techniques.
