معرفی
Qipei Mei, PhD, PEng, is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering within the Faculty of Engineering at the University of Alberta. His work centers on leveraging digital technologies to advance sustainable infrastructure design, construction, and maintenance.
His academic background includes:
- Ph.D. in Structural Engineering from the University of Alberta (2020)
- M.Sc. in Computer Science from the Georgia Institute of Technology (2018)
- M.Sc. in Structural Engineering from the University of Alberta (2014)
- Bachelor of Engineering in Civil Engineering from Huazhong University of Science and Technology (2011)
Dr. Mei's research program is built on three pillars: (1) data-driven design automation, including generative design and smart infrastructure; (2) robotics and sensing applications for safer and more productive construction; and (3) digital twin-based condition assessment of infrastructure. His group, the Smart Infrastructure Technologies (SITE) Research Group, utilizes cutting-edge technologies such as computer vision and advanced sensing to tackle complex challenges in civil infrastructure. The research has implications for sustainable development and operational efficiency in the built environment.
Dr. Mei is currently recruiting graduate students for multiple intakes in 2025. He is a member of the Infrastructure and Human Tech Lab (IHT-Lab) and teaches advanced courses in structural and civil engineering.
