Principle Investigator

Dr. Chenglin Wu

Chenglin Wu received his Bachelor degree in Civil Engineering with the focus of Structural Engineering, from Tongji University in 2006 and his Ph.D. in Civil, Architectural, and Environmental Engineering with the specialty in Mechanics, Materials, and Structures, from Missouri University of Science and Technology in 2014. He later on obtained his Ph.D. in Aerospace Engineering and Engineering Mechanics emphasizing on solid mechanics, from The University of Texas at Austin in 2016. Dr. Wu's research cover multi-scale experiment and modeling in solid mechanics. His researches are motivated by the practical applications of innovative materials in engineering fields.
