Qianru Guo serves as an Adjunct Professor in the Department of Civil and Urban Engineering at NYU's Tandon School of Engineering, while maintaining her primary role as Senior Consulting Engineer at Simpson Gumpertz & Heger Inc. (SGH) with over 10 years of specialized experience in performance-based fire protection design and structural fire engineering.
Her academic credentials include:
- Ph.D. in Structural Engineering from University of Michigan, Ann Arbor
- M.S. in Civil Engineering and Mechanical Engineering from University of Michigan, Ann Arbor
- B.S. in Civil Engineering from Tongji University, Shanghai, China
Dr. Guo's research pioneers the integration of probabilistic methodologies with structural fire engineering, focusing on reliability analysis of fire-exposed structures through advanced computational techniques. Her work develops inverse modeling for heat release rate determination, stochastic finite element methods for fire resistance evaluation, and performance-based design frameworks that redefine safety standards. She addresses critical gaps in predicting structural behavior under fire by quantifying uncertainties in material properties, fire scenarios, and structural responses.
Analysis of her publication trajectory reveals consistent methodological evolution from fundamental reliability theory (2011-2013) toward practical performance-based design applications (2014-2018). Her research consistently bridges computational mechanics with fire safety engineering, emphasizing probabilistic safety assessment and code-compliant reliability calibration across residential and commercial structures.
Based at 6 MetroTech Center, 4th Floor, Brooklyn, NY 11201, her professional activities integrate academic research with real-world engineering practice to advance fire-resilient infrastructure design.
