Pengcheng JiaoPengcheng Jiao earned his MSc and PhD degrees in Civil Engineering from West Virginia University and Michigan State University in 2012 and 2017, respectively. Prior to joining the Ocean College at Zhejiang University as Research Professor, Prof. Jiaowas working as Research Associate in the Department of Mechanical Engineering and Applied Mechanics at University of Pennsylvania. Prof. Jiao's areas of research interests include smart materials and structures, structural stability analysis and applications, structural health monitoring (SHM), energy harvesting, and multiscale solid mechanics. Particular interests are focused on: 1) conceptual development and investigation of structural components and systems to expand traditional utilities while exploring multi-functional features; and 2) deployment of advanced structures for novel energy harvesting and damage sensing techniques, which leads to a variety of novel applications within the areas of SHM and digital smart infrastructures.
