Dr. Wang is currently a Marie Skłodowska-Curie fellow at the University of Cambridge, serving as the core researcher of a project on smart materials for sustainable road infrastructure funded by the European Commission. Prior to Cambridge, he earned both a bachelor’s degree in civil engineering and a doctorate from the National University of Singapore. Utilizing a combination of numerical simulations, machine learning, data-driven methods, and stochastic optimization, his research aims to combine knowledge of material spatial heterogeneity with subsurface conditions to inform system-level simulations of interactions between geosystems, humans, and the environment, and use field observations to calibrate numerical and data-driven models for knowledge discovery. His research has led to 29 journal articles. In addition to contributing to research initiatives funded in Europe and Asia, his research has led to software applications employed by the industry for ongoing underground infrastructure projects.
