About the lecturer:
Doctor Shen Shihui is an associate professor of Penn State Altoona and adjunct professor of Tongji University. She’s among the first scholars of “The Thousand Talents Plan”. She received her bachelor’s and master’s degree from Southeast University in Nanjing, and received a doctorate from University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign. After graduation, she worked as an assistant professor of civil engineering at Washington State University and served as director of the AASHTO Certification Center in Washington DC. Other work experience includes assistant research fellow of Jiangsu Traffic Science Research Institute, visiting scholar of Road Research Center of University of Nottingham, and research engineer of ARA consulting company of the United States. Mainly engaged in road engineering construction materials and road structure research, she takes asphalt materials and asphalt road as the main research direction. Shen Shihui has taken the in-depth research on many fields as follows: asphalt material fatigue and self-healing, design method of asphalt mixture based on the squeezed superposition theory and viscoelastic material plastic theory, numerical simulation of discrete element method, warm mix asphalt mixture, and long-term monitoring and evaluation of pavement performance. Until now she has published more than 40 SCI papers. She has hosted national research projects such as NCHRP and Natural Science Foundation of the United States and research projects funded by the state government of the United States. At present, she owns many titles as follows: committee member of ASCE Asphalt Pavement Committee, committee member of ASCE EMI Road Mechanics Committee, committee member of TRB AFK30 Committee, director of the International Association of Chinese Infrastructure Professionals (IACIP), expert group member of “pavement materials design method based on the performance” research of United States NCHRP 01-55 project, and associate editor ofJournal of Materials in Civil Engineeringjournal of ASCE.

About the lecturer:
Doctor Huang Hai is a tenured associate professor of Penn State Altoona, doctoral tutor of Penn State Parke and adjunct professor of Tongji University. He’s among the 11thbatch of scholars of “The Thousand Talents Plan”. He received a bachelor’s degree from Southeast University in Nanjing and a master's degree and a doctorate from University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign. After graduating from Pennsylvania State University, he founded the first and only ABET undergraduate degree in track transportation in the United states. Mainly engaged in the numerical simulation of rock and soil in the traffic field, his research fields include discrete element method, the dynamic response of track, rail interaction with basic work, and sensor technology. He has created a calculation method of real-time interactive based on software and hardware and published more than 20 SCI papers. In addition, he has presided over the national research projects of American federal railroad, American Railway Association, and the National Academy of Sciences with a total project funds amounted to 3 million dollars. He currently serves as Chairman of the Railway Transportation Committee (RTC) of the American Civil Engineers Association (ASCE), the committee secretary of the TRB Railway Maintenance (AR060) Committee, and committee member of the TRB Railway Structure (AR050) Committee.
We are looking forward to your participation.
