Hi! I'm an Assistant Professor in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at Washington State University (WSU) (click to view my WSU faculty webpage). My research aims to enhance the resilience and sustainability of civil infrastructure by integrating multiscale computational modeling, experimental methods, sensing technologies, AI, and data science, ultimately creating digital twins of infrastructure systems that are adaptive to environmental changes and can issue advanced decision-making support. My prior research on these topics has been published in several high-impact journals and these publications have been well received by the engineering community. I earned my Ph.D. in Civil Engineering from the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, and MS and BS from Zhejiang University, China. 

​

I consider myself very fortunate to have spent five years working with Country Garden, a Fortune Global 500 company and China's largest property developer and leader in construction automation. I held senior leadership roles across various business sectors within this company in both the US and China, leading land acquisition; overseeing property development; and spearheading R&D in construction automation, smart supply chains, and solar energy. 

​

I am actively recruiting motivated Ph.D. students and postdoctoral researchers. If you are interested, please feel free to reach out to me at zhijie.wang3@wsu.edu.
