Ph.D. student
Civil Engineering

Jichuan is currently a second-year Ph.D. candidate in Civil Engineering at the University of Notre Dame, as well as a research assistant within the Brewick Group, led by Prof. Patrick Brewick.

Jichuan earned his M.S. in Civil Engineering from Tianjin University in 2022. During his master's program, he broadened his research by participating as a visiting master student at the Laboratory for Intelligent Infrastructure Technology (LIFT) at Nanyang Technological University in Singapore for a year. Before embarking on his doctoral studies at Notre Dame, he spent one year as a research assistant at the Institute of Urban Smart Transportation and Safety Maintenance at Shenzhen University.

Jichuan has a solid foundation in structural dynamics and control theory, along with practical experience in coding (MATLAB/Simulink/Python). His research primarily focuses on the intersection of high-performance computational methods and smart sensing technologies across various engineering applications, particularly in the realm of structural health monitoring. His expertise lies in the following areas:

• 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.
