معرفی
Yilei Shi is an Associate Teaching Professor and Undergraduate Civil Engineering Program Director at Syracuse University. They hold a Ph.D. (2009), M.S. (2002), and B.S. (1999) in Civil Engineering from Florida International University, Beijing University of Technology, and Southeast University, respectively. Their research emphasizes transportation resilience, sustainable construction materials, and structural behavior under extreme conditions like earthquakes and impact loads.
Education Background:
- Ph.D. in Civil Engineering, Florida International University (2009)
- Master of Science in Civil Engineering, Beijing University of Technology (2002)
- Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering, Southeast University (1999)
Research Interests:
Dr. Shi focuses on enhancing infrastructure resilience through innovative materials and design strategies. Key areas include:
- Transportation resilience via material performance evaluation
- Development and application of sustainable construction materials
- Structural analysis under extreme loading conditions
They also explore bridge engineering, earthquake-resistant design, and accelerated construction methods.
