Bach Do will join the UQ Lab from Saigon, Vietnam in June 2023. Currently, he is finishing his PhD degree in Architectural Engineering from Kyoto University, Japan. His dissertation focuses on structural design, optimization under uncertainty, and inverse problems in solid mechanics. He received an MS degree from Chulalongkorn University, Thailand, and a BS degree with honors (top 1.5%) from Ho Chi Minh City University of Technology, Vietnam.

We are very eager to welcome Bach here in Houston. But before that, he will have a wedding. Very important indeed.

I am visiting University College London (UCL) for two weeks in December 2022. Serge Guillas at the UCL Department of Statistical Science hosts my visit and gives me an opportunity to present at their department seminar. Statistics and engineering intersect at the field of uncertainty quantification, and I am excited to work with the greatest minds in the field.

Serge kindly took this photo before my talk.

Taiwo Adebiyi joined the UQ Lab from Lagos, Nigeria in Fall 2022. Prior to joining UH, he graduated from the University of Lagos top of class, and finished a fellowship program at NUTM winning the all-round excellence award. Welcome the first graduate student of the lab!

We had Nigerian food at a local restaurant. H-town is truly a city with diverse cultures.
