About

Hi! I'm Mingyu Wang.
I'm a Researcher, Civil Engineer, and AI Explorer who aspires to become an Educator and a Builder of Smarter Infrastructures.

I am currently a doctoral student at the School of Civil Engineering, Southeast University. I am dedicated to empowering intelligent sensing and resilience of civil infrastructure through physics-data dual-drive fusion.

Feel free to drop me an email for collaboration.

Research Framework

Finite Element Method (FEM) “Foundation”
Generating the rigorous ground truth rooted in classical mechanics, serving as the essential reliable baseline for model training and validation.
Physics-Informed AI “Strategy”
A dual-drive strategy that embeds physical laws (PDEs) into neural networks, ensuring AI predictions are not just fast, but physically consistent.
Neural Operators “Technique”
Mastering operator learning architectures (DeepONet/FNO) to bypass iterative solvers, accelerating simulations from hours to milliseconds.
Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) “Application”
Deploying smart algorithms on railway/ocean structures to translate massive sensor data into real-time actionable health diagnostics.
