Minh-Chien Trinh
I have been a Postdoctoral Research Associate at The University of Utah since May 2026, working on material and structural mechanics using high-performance computing. Prior to this, I was a Research Assistant Professor at Jeonbuk National University from April 2021 to April 2026, following my role as a Postdoctoral Researcher at the same university from September 2020 to March 2021. I obtained my Ph.D. in Civil Engineering from Sejong University in August 2020. During this period, I participated in multiple NRF projects in South Korea, reviewed articles for 46 academic journals, and published 26 research articles in reputable academic journals. I am an Editorial Board Member of Scientific Reports, Scientific Reviews, ZAMM - Journal of Applied Mathematics and Mechanics, and Vietnam Journal of Mechanics. My research interests include material and structural mechanics, computational mechanics, fracture mechanics, biomechanics, machine learning, computer vision, and high-performance computing.
