Biography:
Dr. Yang is currently Honorary Dean of College of Civil Engineering, Chongqing University (CQU), China, Professor Emeritus at the Department of Civil Engineering, National Taiwan University (NTU), Chairman of Accreditation Council of Institute of Engineering Education Taiwan (IEET), and Vice President of the following two organizations: Asian-Pacific Association for Computational Mechanics (APACM) and East Asia-Pacific Conference on Structural Engineering and Construction (EASEC). He is a member of Chinese Academy of Engineering, foreign member of Austrian Academy of Sciences, and fellow of American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) and International Association of Computational Mechanics (IACM). Previously, he was President of YunTech, i.e., National Yunlin University of Science and Technology (2009-13), and Dean of College of Engineering, NTU (1999-2005). He received his Ph.D. degree from Cornell University in 1984. His areas of expertise include structural nonlinear analysis, vehicle-bridge interaction dynamics, and train-induced wave propagation. On each area he has published a monograph. As of now, he has published over 180 referred journal papers and over 250 conference papers. He is an Editor-in-Chief of International Journal of Structural Stability and Dynamics, and a member of the Editorial or Advisory Board of journals including Engineering Structures, Journal of Sound and Vibration, Structural Engineering and Mechanics, Advances in Structural Engineering, etc
