Cheng, Dawn

PEER Annual Meeting 2023 Speaker Bio: Dr. Dawn Cheng is interested in the infrastructure design and renewal using advanced fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) composites and other engineered materials. The Cheng group focuses on the FRP-based efficient strengthening technique and reinforcement alternative, the long-term fatigue durability of FRPs as the strengthened structures, smart embedded sensing techniques, and alternative construction materials engineered from tire derived aggregates and nanomaterials. Efforts in these research areas aim to address challenging transportation needs and improve the longevity and safety of the existing structures in addition to the construction of next generation resilient civil infrastructures.
