Hi! I am a PhD student in Civil Engineering at the University of Minnesota (UMN) under Prof. Qizhi (“KaiChi”) He. Before joining UMN, I got my master’s degree in structural engineering from University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign (UIUC) and bachelor’s degree in civil engineering both from the University of Leeds and Southwest Jiaotong University.
Research interest
- Topology optimization
- Data-driven mechanics
- Physics-informed Machine Learning
- Machine learning enhanced computational mechanics
- Computer vision in natural and built environments
My earlier research also involved The mix design of Ultra-High Performance Concrete(UHPC) and The mix design for Low Rebound Nano-fiber shotcrete
