06/2022 Received the NSF Travel Award for the 2022 NHERI Summer Institute
It is my pleasure to be selected to receive the NSF Travel Award for the 2022 Natural Hazards Engineering Research Infrastructure (NHERI) Summer Institute for Early-Career Faculty.
I attended the NHERI Summer Institute held at the University of Texas at San Antonio. It was an excellent opportunity to connect with the Natural Hazards Engineering Research Infrastructure (NHERI) community.

06/2022 Session Chair at the 8th World Conference on Structural Control and Monitoring
It was my pleasure to serve as the session chair at the 8th World Conference on Structural Control and Monitoring (8WCSCM) held in Orlando FL. Session name: New Advances in Enhanced Passive, Adaptive Passive, & Semi-active Vibration Control (Part II).

05/2022 Presentation at EMI Conference
I attended the EMI 2022 Conference (Engineering Mechanics Institute) at Johns Hopkins University. My presentation was Conditional Neural Network-Based Parameter Estimation for Wind Pressure. Check out the abstract here.

11/2021 Group event
It’s Professor Bocchini’s birthday! We celebrated together in the group meeting. I feel so warm and blessed to work in this wonderful group.

10/2021 Guest Editor of Atmosphere
I am glad to serve as one of the Guest Editors for a special issue of Atmosphere, “Measurement, Analysis, Modeling and Prediction of Strong Winds in Atmospheric Boundary Layer”.
FYI: This special issue is now open for submission! See more details here.

08/2021. Post-doc.
I will move to Lehigh University as a Post-doctoral Research Associate. I’m looking forward to joining Dr. Bocchini’s Research Group.

08/2021.  Ph.D. Dissertation Defense.
I successfully defended my Ph.D. dissertation: Performance-Based Wind Engineering of Tall Buildings: Nonstationary Wind, Loading Protocol and Nonlinear Response

07/2021. Presentation at SHMII 10 2021 Conference.
Happy to share two of my works at the SHMII-10 conference (online)!
The talk is about “Deep learning-enhanced wind load identification with multi-camera videos“.
Read the full-text conference paper in my Research Gate!

05/2021. Presentations at EMI 2021 Conference.
Happy to share two of my works at EMI 2021 conference! Here are the titles and linked abstracts:
Camera Array-Based Structural Response Identification with Knowledge-Enhanced Deep Learning.
Statistics-based Investigation on Hurricane Wind Duration

In the meantime, I found it difficult to have an overview of the conference schedule on the EMI 2021 website through their agenda page. So I made this tool (https://greasyfork.org/en/scripts/427040-emi-2021-agenda-simplify…). A window will pop out when you open the website with an overview of the conference schedule. Tampermonkey extension is needed. (https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/tampermonkey/dhdgffkkebhmkfjojejmpbldmpobfkfo?hl=en…) #EMI2021#tampermonkey#greasyfork

05/2021. Presentations at the 6th AAWE Workshop.
Happy to share two of my works at the 6th AAWE Workshop hosted online by Clemson University!
