About Me

I am an assistant professor at the University of Miami. I am jointly appointed by the School of Architecture and College of Engineering, Department of Civil & Architectural Engineering, with an affiliation to Climate Resilience Academy.

​

Previously, I was a postdoctoral associate at Systems Engineering, Cornell University. I enjoy working with Prof. Oliver Gao to develop a general digital twin framework for the modeling and management of infrastructure systems.

​

I obtained my PhD degree in Structural Engineering at Lehigh University in 2021. I am fortunate to be advised by Prof. Dan Frangopol. My PhD research focused on developing decision support tools for stakeholders to manage their assets from a life-cycle perspective.

​

Before that, I got my Bachelor's degree in Civil Engineering at Hunan University, China, in 2016. Meanwhile, I was a visiting student at Arizona State University in 2015. I grew up in the lovely city of Foshan, which is famous for its food (e.g., dim sum).
