Hongyan Liu
Teaching Associate Professor, Civil and Environmental Engineering
Dr. Hongyan Liu joined the faculty as an Associate Teaching Professor in Spring 2015 after serving as an adjunct teaching professor in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at Mines since Fall 2013. Prior to this appointment, she have also been teaching at University of Minnesota Duluth from Spring 2012 as a McKnight Visiting Assistant Professor. Dr. Liu’s teaching interests are focused on engineering mechanics, structural analysis and design, and engineering materials. She has been teaching Statics and Mechanics of Material since she joined Mines. Dr. Liu’s research background was mainly in structural engineering and earthquake engineering.
