Heng Wang

Heng Wang serves as an Adjunct Assistant Professor in the Department of Epidemiology and Biostatistics at the University of Illinois Chicago.

His research focuses on Civil Engineering and Structural Health Monitoring, with specialized expertise in bridge diagnostics. Key areas include distributed crack detection, deflection monitoring, operational modal analysis, and environmental effect separation using advanced computational methods like LSTM networks and TVFEMD-PE-KLD signal processing.

Recent publications (2022-2025) reveal a concentrated effort on multi-span bridge assessment through distributed sensing systems. Work emphasizes real-time damage quantification, reference-free deflection measurement, and temperature-induced response separation—demonstrating strong integration of machine learning with structural engineering principles.
