Wind rises from the tip of the duckweed; waves form between minute ripples. In the domain of Structural Health Monitoring, critical insights often begin as imperceptible signals. Detecting the "wind at the tip of the duckweed" is central to preventing catastrophic failure.
About me
Jichuan is a dedicated Ph.D. student in Civil Engineering at the University of Notre Dame, serving as a Graduate Research Assistant within the Brewick Group led by Prof. Patrick Brewick. His research focuses on dynamic control, structural health monitoring, and machine learning applications in engineering. Additionally, he works as a Teaching Assistant for courses including Structural Dynamics and Civil Engineering Materials.
He earned his M.S. in Civil Engineering from Tianjin University in 2022. During his master's program, he broadened his research horizons as a visiting student at the Laboratory for Intelligent Infrastructure Technology (LIFT) at Nanyang Technological University in Singapore. Prior to joining Notre Dame, he gained further experience as a research assistant at the Institute of Urban Smart Transportation and Safety Maintenance at Shenzhen University.
Jichuan possesses a solid foundation in structural dynamics and control theory, complemented by practical expertise in coding (MATLAB/Simulink/Python). His research primarily explores the intersection of high-performance computational methods and smart sensing technologies, particularly within structural health monitoring. His key areas of expertise include:
- Multi-fidelity and surrogate modeling.
- Scientific machine learning and artificial intelligence.
- Uncertainty quantification and Bayesian inference.
- Dynamics control utilizing deep reinforcement learning.
- Development and deployment of wireless sensors.
