Dr. Yueyue Fan is currently serving as the program director of the Civil Infrastructure Systems (CIS) program at the National Science Foundation. She is also an associate professor in civil and environmental engineering at University of California, Davis and a faculty member in graduate program of Applied Mathematics at UC Davis. She received her Ph.D. in civil engineering at University of Southern California in 2003. Dr. Fan’s research is on transportation and energy infrastructure systems modeling, with a special interest in integrating applied mathematics and engineering domain knowledge to address fundamental challenges brought by data and system uncertainty, dynamics, and underdetermined issues. Dr. Fan is currently serving as the program director of the Civil Infrastructure Systems (CIS) program at the National Science Foundation.

Her research focus is on network optimization, decision making under uncertainty, and transportation and energy infrastructure systems management. Her current research projects include risk management of transportation networks subject to nature hazards and optimal planning and operation of infrastructure systems for alternative energy such as biofuel from biowastes.
