Dr. Trung Do

Assistant Professor
Structural Engineering

Education

  • Ph.D. Civil Engineering, Colorado State University
  • M.S. Civil Engineering, National University of Civil Engineering, Vietnam
  • B.Eng. Civil Engineering, Danang University of Science and Technology- The University of Danang, Vietnam

Research

My research program focuses on advancing the structural integrity, safety, and long-term resilience of built infrastructure subjected to extreme multi-hazard environments and operational demands. By integrating mechanics-driven modeling with risk-based decision-making, my work addresses critical challenges across structural life-cycle management, natural disaster mitigation, and offshore renewable energy infrastructure.
