Teng Wu, Ph.D., F.ASCE, a professor in the Department of Civil, Structural and Environmental Engineering at University at Buffalo, has been named a fellow by the ASCE Board of Direction.
Wu has made significant contributions to nonlinear and transient bluff-body aerodynamics, performance-based wind design, and AI-enabled infrastructure resilience under hurricane (wind, rain, and surge/wave hazards). He currently serves as the editor-in-chief of Advances in Wind Engineering. He is an executive board member of IAWE. He is also a member of the AAWE Board of Directors, of the IABSE-USA Board of Directors, of the Super-Long-Span Bridge Aerodynamics Working Group and Effects of Climate Change on Infrastructures Working Group of IABSE, of the TRB (Transportation Research Board) Standing Committee on Rail Safety Management Systems, of the Academic Committee for International Joint Research Laboratory of Rail Transportation Safety, and a board member of International Joint Research Laboratory in Wind Engineering.
His contributions have been recognized through the 2014 AAWE Best Paper Award, 2016 ASCE Alfred Noble Prize, 2017 IAWE Junior Award, 2017 AAWE Robert Scanlan Award, 2018 IABSE Early Career Prize, 2023 IABSE Outstanding Paper Award, 2023 AAWE Best Paper Award, 2024 IABSE Outstanding Paper Award, 2026 ASCE State-of-the-Art of Civil Engineering Award, and 2026 ASCE Walter L. Huber Civil Engineering Research Prize.
Wu serves on a number of ASCE committees, including ASCE/IRD (Infrastructure Resilience Division) Executive Committee, ASCE/EMI (Engineering Mechanics Institute) Fluid Dynamics Committee (chair), Machine Learning in Mechanics Committee, Objective Resilience Committee and Dynamics Committee, ASCE/SEI (Structural Engineering Institute) 7 Wind Load Subcommittee, Cable-Supported Bridges Committee (past chair), Advancement of Performance Based Design Committee, Performance Based Wind Engineering Committee, Performance-Based Design for Structures Committee and Multihazard Mitigation Committee, ASCE/CC (Changing Climate) Technical Committee on Future Weather and Climate Extremes (chair), ASCE/Energy Division Task Committee On Wind-Induced Forces and Effects, and a number of others.
Wu earned his bachelor’s (2007) and master’s (2010) degrees in bridge engineering from Tongji University, China, and his master’s (2012) and doctoral (2013) degrees in civil engineering from University of Notre Dame.
