Research Interests

Professor Yang's research has been mainly in computational modeling and field-data based investigation of Soil-Structure Interaction . Current work is on:

    * Computational simulations, models and visualization
    * Seasonally frozen ground effects on dynamic Soil-Foundation-Structure Interaction
    * Cold regions Infrastructure

 Dr. Yang is actively recruiting MS degree-seeking graduate students. Interested students are encouraged to contact him directly.

 Current research projects can be found in Research shown under Dr. Yang webpage.
