Matthew DeJong
777 Davis Hall
By email appointment.
Matthew DeJong is the Ray & Shirley Clough Presidential Chair in Structural Engineering and an Associate Professor of Civil and Environmental Engineering at UC Berkeley. DeJong’s research focuses on earthquake engineering and monitoring and modeling of civil infrastructure. Among these fields, he is particularly interested in aging infrastructure, renewable energy infrastructure, tunneling-induced structural damage, and masonry structures. He also serves as the PI and Co-Director of the NHERI SimCenter and Co-Director of the UC Berkeley Center for Smart Infrastructure. Previously, he was a faculty member at Cambridge University for nine years.
*Postdoctoral Researcher Position: I am currently looking for a researcher with experience in infrastructure monitoring, preferably with experience in fiber optic sensing. Please contact me if you are interested.
Ph.D., Building Technology - Structures, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2009
M.S., Civil Engineering, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2005
B.S., Civil Engineering, University of California, Davis, 2001
DeJong’s research focuses on earthquake engineering, structural dynamics, and monitoring and modeling of civil infrastructure. Among these fields, he is particularly interested in aging infrastructure, renewable energy infrastructure, excavation-induced structural damage, and masonry structures. Some of his research projects investigate the dynamics of rocking structures, the effect of tunneling on surface structures, the assessment of historical structures, and the structural health monitoring of wind turbines.
