Curriculum Vitae

I got my BS degree from Shanghai Jiao Tong University in China (2008), and my MS (2011) and PhD (2012) degrees from University of South Florida. Before UNH, I was a post-doctoral associate at Yale University. My research seeks to understand and enhance infrastructure sustainability and resiliency using a systems approach. I have led several National Science Foundation-funded projects, working on integrated planning of water and energy systems, spatial optimization of decentralized infrastructure systems considering user preferences, and crowdsourced monitoring for drinking water safety and resiliency.<br><br><br>I am looking for highly motivated graduate and undergraduate students to join my group. Interested students are encouraged to contact me by email with their CV and a brief statement of research interests. <br><br><br>Selected awards and honors:<br> Platinum Sustainability Award in Faculty Research, University of New Hampshire 2022<br> National Science Foundation CAREER Award 2021<br> Roland H. O’Neal Professorship, University of New Hampshire 2019-2022<br> Award of Excellence in Research, College of Engineering and Physical Sciences 2019<br> Graduate School Summer Faculty Fellowship, University of New Hampshire 2016
