DoSoo Moon

DoSoo Moon serves as Associate Professor in the Department of Civil, Environmental and Construction Engineering at the University of Hawaii at Manoa since August 2023, following his tenure as Assistant Professor (2018-2023). His research focuses on enhancing structural resilience against multi-hazard scenarios through advanced computational and experimental methodologies.

His academic credentials include:

• Ph.D. in Civil and Environmental Engineering, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (2012)
• M.S. in Civil, Urban and Geosystem Engineering, Seoul National University (2006)
• B.S. in Civil, Urban and Geosystem Engineering, Seoul National University (2001)

Moon's research spans multi-hazard resilient infrastructure design, structural health monitoring using smart sensors, risk assessment frameworks, and hybrid simulation techniques. He integrates information technology with structural control systems to develop innovative solutions for civil infrastructure challenges, emphasizing both analytical rigor and experimental validation.

His publication record (2005-2018) reveals consistent contributions to structural fragility analysis, sensor fusion methodologies, and computational tool development (notably ZEUS-NL). These works demonstrate interdisciplinary convergence between civil engineering, computer vision, and control systems, particularly addressing earthquake engineering challenges through novel data fusion and simulation approaches.

Professional recognition includes the 2025 Hi Chang Chai Excellence in Teaching Award, Tau Beta Pi and Phi Kappa Phi honor society memberships, and multiple scholarships from UIUC and Seoul National University. His military service earned an Army Commendation Medal (2004).

Moon actively contributes to the academic community through journal reviewing (Journal of Earthquake Engineering, Earthquakes and Structures), conference organization (ICMAE 2014), and professional society engagement (ASCE/SEI, EERI, ACI, ICC). His teaching portfolio includes core structural engineering courses such as Mechanics of Materials and Earthquake Engineering.

Research leadership includes the ZEUS-NL open-source project (2010-2018) and affiliations with the Smart Structures Technology Laboratory and Network for Earthquake Engineering Simulation at UIUC, focusing on advancing structural monitoring and simulation capabilities.
