Hongrui Wang

Hongrui Wang serves as an Assistant Professor in Artificial Intelligence and Digital Infrastructures at TU Delft's Department of Engineering Structures, recruited under the TU Delft AI Initiative. His academic journey began at Southwest Jiaotong University in China, where he earned his Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering and Automation from the prestigious Mao Yisheng Class. He completed his PhD at TU Delft in 2019, focusing on data-based structural health monitoring of railway catenary infrastructures, followed by a postdoctoral position before assuming his current role. As Associate Editor-in-Chief of IEEE Transactions on Instrumentation and Measurement, he has been recognized as an Outstanding Associate Editor for three consecutive years. His research lies at the intersection of artificial intelligence and engineering structures, developing innovative AI techniques for structural health monitoring, lifecycle asset management, and digital modeling. Wang's work has garnered significant recognition, including the PhD thesis award from the European Rail Research Advisory Council and multiple highly-cited publications in engineering. His current research focuses on physics-informed neural networks, machine learning applications in structural engineering, and the development of smart railway infrastructures, while actively contributing to education in data science, artificial intelligence, and emerging technologies in transportation systems.
