Judith Wang earned her B.S.E., M.S., and Ph.D. in civil engineering as well as a B.A. in English from Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland, Ohio. Her research involves characterizing intrinsic damping in infrastructure systems to more accurately predict dynamic soil-structure responses. Her work has been published in The Journal of Vibration and Control, ASCE's Journal of Materials in Civil Engineering, and Soil Dynamics and Earthquake Engineering. Dr. Wang also has a research interest in the history of civil engineering. Her work in this area has been published in ASCE's Journal of the Performance of Constructed Facilities and has won the ASCE Technical Council on Forensic Engineering's Outstanding Paper Award. She teaches Soil Mechanics and Soil Dynamics and is actively seeking graduate students. Beyond work, Dr. Wang enjoys long-distance running, rock climbing, reading, movies, and spending time with her family and her pets.
