FEI DING

Dr. Fei Ding is an assistant professor in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at the University of Utah. Her research interest lies in the broad area of computational wind and structural engineering, with an emphasis on assessing and mitigating wind effects on structures and the built environment through computational fluid dynamics (CFD), scientific machine learning (ML) and high-performance computing (HPC). Her research aims to understand the impact of wind-induced climatological hazards on infrastructure, and develop active and passive mitigation strategies to enhance resilience by integrating data-driven approaches with physics-based modeling.

Dr. Ding was a Postdoctoral Research Associate at Rice University, the University of Notre Dame and the University of California, Berkeley. She obtained her PhD in Civil Engineering with a minor in Computational Science and Engineering from the University of Notre Dame. She was the recipient of the O. H. Ammann Research Fellowship by ASCE, Thornton Tomasetti Foundation Student Innovation Fellowship, and MIT Rising Stars.
