Data-AI-Resilience LabNational Central UniversityGoogle Scholar ↗TEACHING
Engineering fundamentals, computational methods, and AI.
Courses taught by Prof. Peng-Yu Chen in the Department of Civil Engineering at National Central University.
Teaching connects first principles in mechanics with the computational and data-driven methods shaping contemporary civil engineering.
Students progress from understanding structural behavior to formulating numerical models and applying artificial intelligence to real engineering questions.
