I’m working as an Associate Professor at the department of transportation infrastructure, Tongji University. My research is focused on the durability, resilience, and intelligence of the transportation infrastructures. The innovative and alternative construction materials in the transportation infrastructure is also covered. The cooperation will be warmly welcomed all over the world.
