Dr WANG Yi

Postdoctoral Researcher, Resilience of High-Density Urban Systems

Yi is a postdoctoral researcher in Cluster 2 "Resilience of High-Density Urban Systems" of the Future Resilient Systems (FRS) programme. With her background in transportation engineering and operations research, she gears her current research towards addressing the resilience in transportation systems and its interdependency with other urban critical infrastructure systems.

After joining FRS, she worked across multi-disciplinary project teams, such as the Risk and Human Reliability Group from Paul Scherrer Institute on the incorporation of human factors into evacuation transportation modelling, and the Collaborative Interactive Visualisation and Analysis Laboratory (CIVAL) team from the Future Cities Laboratory (FCL) programme to demonstrate the significance of incorporating resilience thinking into public infrastructure planning, in consultation with the World Bank Group.
