Dr. Wang's recent research efforts have focused on geotechnical uncertainty, risk, and reliability (e.g., probabilistic site characterization, development and application of Bayesian methods in geotechnical engineering, reliability-based design of geotechnical engineering, probabilistic slope stability analysis), soil-structure interaction (e.g., responses of buried utility pipelines to ground displacement induced by seismic strong motions or urban underground construction activities such as tunneling), and seismic risk assessment of critical civil infrastructure systems (e.g. water supply systems and submarine telecommunication cables). Recruitment of PhD students and research staff (RA or postdoc) is currently ongoing. Potential applicants, particularly those with strong mathematical background or significant numerical simulation experience, are welcome to send CV directly to yuwang@cityu.edu.hk.
