Professional Profiles:

Education:

The user completed their Ph.D. in Structural Engineering at Tongji University, Shanghai, China, from September 2018 to July 2022. Prior to this, they pursued an M.S. in Hydraulic Structure Engineering at Northwest A&F University, Xi’an, China, from September 2015 to June 2018. Their academic journey began with a B.S. in Hydraulic and Hydropower Engineering, also at Northwest A&F University, Xi’an, China, from September 2011 to July 2015.

Research Experience and Interests:

The user completed their Ph.D. at Tongji University, Shanghai, China, from September 2018 to July 2022, under the mentorship of Prof. Huanjun Jiang. During this time, they participated in projects such as experimental and analytical simulations for suspended non-structural systems in super-tall buildings under long-period and duration earthquakes. They conducted full-scale suspended ceilings and cable tray systems shaking table tests, studied connections of cable trays, and analyzed nonlinear vibrations induced by friction, collision, and stiffness changes. Additionally, they proposed a new seismic brace based on a topological optimization method. Their research also focused on the optimization of steel-concrete composite structures, where they applied topology and layout optimization methods combined with numerical and experimental analysis to develop new steel-concrete composite component forms and seismic-resistant structure systems.
