Biography

Dr Yuxin Pan is an Assistant Professor of structural, timber, and earthquake engineering at HKUST’s CIVL department. He specializes in the design and evaluation of innovative timber structural components and systems, with a focus on hazard-resilient timber and hybrid high-rise buildings for the next generation of sustainable urban development. He received his PhD in structural and earthquake engineering from the University of British Columbia (UBC) in 2018. Prior to joining HKUST, he held Postdoctoral Research and Teaching Fellow position at both UBC and University of Northern British Columbia, and worked as a Structural Engineer at BC Hydro, Canada. He is interested in performance-based design, advanced numerical modeling, large-scale laboratory and field testing, and deep learning-based structural health monitoring.
