Hi! I'm a Postdoctoral Associate in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at the University of Pittsburgh. I earned my Ph.D. in Civil Engineering from the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, and MS and BS from Zhejiang University, China, all degrees in civil engineering. My research aims to enhance the resilience and sustainability of civil infrastructure by integrating multiscale computational modeling, experimental methods, sensing technologies, AI, and data science, ultimately creating digital twins of infrastructure systems that are adaptive to environmental changes and can issue advanced decision-making support. My prior research on these topics has been published in several high-impact journals and these publications have been well received by the engineering community.

I consider myself very fortunate to have spent five years working with Country Garden, a Fortune Global 500 company and China's largest property developer and leader in construction automation. I held senior leadership roles across various business sectors within this company in both the US and China, leading land acquisition; overseeing property development; and spearheading R&D in construction automation, smart supply chains, and solar energy. Additionally, I gained extensive teaching experience by serving as an instructor and teaching assistant for undergraduate-level courses, as well as leading workshops at international conferences.

​

I am passionate about pursuing a faculty or research position where I can continue to innovate in digital twins and advanced numerical and experimental modeling, with the goal of contributing to a more sustainable and resilient built environment through advancing these critical research topics.
