你好 (Nǐ hǎo), Hello, Hola, Bonjour, Hallo, こんにちは, 안녕하세요, مرحباً, Ciao, Привет.
I am currently a postdoctoral fellow at the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at The Hong Kong Polytechnic University. I was a postdoctoral research associate at the Lyles School of Civil and Construction Engineering at Purdue University, while closely collaborating with the Indiana Department of Transportation (INDOT).
I obtained both my PhD and Bachelor’s degrees in Transportation Engineering from School of Transportation at Tongji University in Shanghai, China. I joined the Department of Civil Engineering and Management at University of Twente in Enschede, the Netherlands as a visiting PhD student for one year.
My research focuses on sustainability-oriented life-cycle management of transportation infrastructure, with emphasis on sustainable construction, intelligent operation, and adaptive renewal.
(I run WeChat and RedNote public account: allroad, where I share academic opportunities and research updates in roadway and airport pavement engineering; if you are interested, please click the icons on the left to follow.)
