08/26/2008
Assistant professor Huiming Yin joined the faculty of the Department of Civil Engineering and Engineering Mechanics in Autumn 2008. Dr. Yin earned his Ph.D. in civil and environmental engineering from The University of Iowa in 2004. He is a registered professional engineer in Civil Engineering in California.
Dr. Yin specializes in the multi-scale/physics characterization of civil engineering materials and structures with experimental, analytical, and numerical methods. His research interests are interdisciplinary and range from structures and materials to innovative construction technologies and test methods. His representative research areas include multi-scale characterization and design of warm mix asphalt, performance-based investigation of rubberized and polymer-modified asphalt, fracture testing and modeling of engineering materials and structures, nuclear test method for the compaction control of pavement construction, and multi-scale/physical characterization of smart materials and structures among others. Dr. Yin is a member of the American Society of Civil Engineers, United States Association for Computational Mechanics, and The International Association for Computational Mechanics.
