PhD students<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ms. Yaxuan Yi<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Yaxuan earned her MSc from the University of York, UK, and her BEng from the Chongqing University. From 2022 to 2023, she worked as a Quality Policy Specialist at the Institute of Quality and Reliability, Tsinghua University. Currently, Yaxuan is pursuing her PhD under the supervision of Dr. Haoyu Huang, with a research focus on the recyclability and reuse of timber structures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mr. Yifei Li<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Yifei obtained his MSc from Newcastle University and his BSc from the Beijing Institute of Technology. His research interests include machine learning, structural design, and structural optimisation. He is currently pursuing his PhD under the supervision of Dr. Haoyu Huang, focusing on the application of tuned mass dampers for reducing timber floor vibrations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ms. Zhenhong Zhao<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Zhenhong holds two MSc degrees: one in Logistics and Supply Chain Management from the University of Sheffield, and the other in Engineering Management from the University of York. She earned her BEng from Coventry University. Her research interests lie in digital construction, and she is currently pursuing her PhD under the supervision of Dr. Haoyu Huang, with a focus on digital construction management for timber structures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Visiting Researchers<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dr. Jun Wu<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Dr. Jun Wu is an Associate Professor in Bridge Engineering at Chang\u2019an University, China. She visited Newcastle University as a visiting scholar of the team of Dr. Haoyu Huang. Dr. Wu primarily focuses on transportation resilience, with specific emphasis on vehicle-bridge interaction analysis, bridge traffic flow simulation, and reliability assessment of bridges under traffic loads. She has integrated the cellular automaton traffic flow model with vehicle-bridge interaction analysis, enabling a more detailed characterization of bridge dynamic responses under vehicular flow. This approach significantly facilitates the fatigue evaluation of bridge components under random traffic loading, providing critical insights for structural health monitoring and maintenance strategies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ms. Ruijia Wu<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Ruijia is a PhD student in Civil Engineering at Zhejiang University, China, under the supervision of Prof. Yan Xiao. She is currently a visiting researcher at Newcastle University, working under the supervision of Haoyu. Her research focuses on the mechanical properties of engineered bamboo materials, multi-story tall bamboo structures, engineered mass bamboo buildings, seismic design, and carbon footprints. During her time at Newcastle University, Ruijia aims to integrate her expertise with the research conducted by Haoyu\u2019s group. This collaboration not only advances her research but also fosters stronger connections between Newcastle University and Zhejiang University.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MEng (Master of Engineering) Students<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Haoyu supervises three MEng students at Newcastle University each year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Most of them foucsed on research in timber floor vibration, timber connections and vibration control.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
