Professor Yu Wang joined City University of Hong Kong (CityU HK) in 2006, shortly after he obtained his PhD degree from Cornell University, and maintained as a full-time faculty member at CityU HK until 2024. He is a Registered Professional Engineer (Civil) in Hong Kong and an elected Fellow of American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE). His recent research efforts have focused on digital twin of subsurface geo-structures, machine learning in geotechnical engineering, analytics and simulation of geo-data, geotechnical uncertainty, reliability and risk, and seismic risk assessment of critical civil infrastructure systems. His research has earned several prestigious international/national awards, including the 2023 Thomas A. Middlebrooks Award from ASCE, the 2022 R.M. Quigley Award (Honourable Mention) from Canadian Geotechnical Society, the 2020 Best Paper Award from the ASCE-ASME Journal of Risk and Uncertainty in Engineering Systems, Part A: Civil Engineering, the 2020 Higher Education Outstanding Scientific Research Output Awards (the First-class Natural Science Award教育部自然科学奖一等奖) from the Ministry of Education, China, the First-class Natural Science Award from the Hubei Provincial Government (湖北省自然科学奖一等奖) in 2017, the Highly Cited Research Award from the international journal of Engineering Geology in 2017, and the GEOSNet Young Researcher Award from the Geotechnical Safety Network (GEOSNet) in 2015. By the end of 2024, Professor Wang has authored/co-authored over 180 journal papers and two books in English. He served as president of ASCE Hong Kong Section in 2012-2013 and serves in editorial boards of several top journals in geotechnical engineering or risk and uncertainty analysis (e.g., Associate Editor for the ASCE Journal of Geotechnical and Geoenvironmental Engineering).
