Hi! I’m a Postdoctoral Fellow in the Hopkins Extreme Materials Institute at Johns Hopkins University My research lies at the intersection of digital twin modeling, computational mechanics, structural mechanics, and infrastructure resilience. I aim to develop next-generation tools that integrate high-resolution sensing, multiscale modeling, and machine learning for predictive assessment and maintenance of civil infrastructure systems. Ultimately, my research vision is to bridge the gap between physical and digital worlds, creating intelligent, data-driven digital twins that enhance the safety, durability, and sustainability of infrastructure systems worldwide.

I received my Ph.D. in Civil Engineering (Structural) from the University of Pittsburgh in 2025. Before that, I earned both my M.Sc. and B.Sc. in Bridge Engineering from Southeast University, China.
