Assistant Professor, Civil and Environmental Engineering
Dr. David Y. Yang is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering (CEE) at Portland State University (PSU). His current work is focused on risk management of civil infrastructure under climate change and risk-informed decision-making for deteriorating structures. Dr. Yang has a broad range of research interests including (a) risk-based life-cycle management of deteriorating structures, (b) resilience assessment and improvement of infrastructure systems, (c) climate change impact assessment and mitigation for civil infrastructure, (d) decision-making under uncertainty for networked infrastructure assets, and (e) probabilistic machine learning for infrastructure metamodeling and optimum management. He serves as an active member in the ASCE/SEI Task Group 1 on Life-cycle Performance of Structural Systems, and contributes to the TRB AFF40 Committee on Testing and Evaluation of Transportation Structures. Prior to joining PSU, he worked as a Post-Doctoral Research Associate at Lehigh University. He obtained his PhD from the Hong Kong Polytechnic University, working on reliability- and risk-based repair and retrofit planning for reinforced concrete structures.
