Prof. Jin Hung Hwang received his BS from National Taiwan University in 1982 and PhD from the same institution in 1990. He has worked as a senior engineer, associate professor, and is currently a professor at National Central University. He is licensed as both a structural and geotechnical engineer in Taiwan. Prof. Hwang is visiting India to collaborate on a joint research project with Prof. Ashim Kanti Dey of NIT Silchar focusing on centrifuge modeling and numerical analysis of seismic response in clay embankments. His main research areas include soil liquefaction, tunnel engineering, pile engineering, soft clay engineering, and geotechnical construction vibration.
The document provides advice for students on how to make the most of their undergraduate experience at IIT, including:
1. Focus on academics and research, maintain a good GPA, and consider higher education opportunities like MS or PhD programs.
2. In the second year, choose research projects and advisors, begin technical writing, and create an academic website. Spend summers doing internships.
3. In the third year, focus on research, give presentations, identify areas of interest, publish work, and plan summer internships abroad with faculty at other institutions.
Email Etiquette for NIT Silchar Intern and GradSchool ApplicantsCes Nit Silchar
This presentation provides email etiquette tips for students applying for internships and graduate schools. It recommends including a professional signature with contact details, keeping emails brief and to the point, and embedding one's CV online and sharing the link rather than attaching files. The goal is to make emails look formal and project that the student is serious about their applications while respecting professors' limited time.
Seismic Capacity Assessment of Sanyi Old Railway TunnelCes Nit Silchar
The document summarizes a seismic capacity assessment of the Sanyi Old Railway Tunnel in Taiwan using the Modified Cross-Section Racking Deformation (MCSRD) method. The analysis used data on the tunnel geometry, lining properties, and soil conditions to model the tunnel response under seismic loading. It determined the allowable peak ground velocities for different lining thicknesses and strengths before bending or shear failure would occur. The results estimated the tunnel could withstand seismic intensities of JMA Scale IV in gravel and Scale V in soft rock, which is consistent with the tunnel experiencing no damage in a 1999 earthquake of similar intensity.
