Matthew DeJong

Matthew DeJong is the Ray & Shirley Clough Presidential Chair in Structural Engineering and a Professor of Civil and Environmental Engineering at the University of California, Berkeley. His research focuses on earthquake engineering and the monitoring and modeling of civil infrastructure, with particular interests in aging infrastructure, renewable energy infrastructure, tunneling-induced structural damage, and masonry structures. He also serves as the PI and Co-Director of the NHERI SimCenter and Co-Director of the UC Berkeley Center for Smart Infrastructure. Previously, he was a faculty member at Cambridge University for nine years.

Matthew DeJong is a professor in Civil & Environmental Engineering at the University of California, Berkeley, specializing in Structural dynamics, Earthquake Engineering, Structural Health Monitoring, Masonry Structures, and Tunneling. His research focuses on the behavior of masonry structures under seismic conditions, the dynamic response of flexible structures, and the application of advanced monitoring techniques such as InSAR and point cloud data analysis. DeJong's work includes the development of models for rocking structures, seismic assessment strategies, and the interaction between tunnelling and surface structures. His research also explores the use of distributed acoustic sensing and digital image correlation for structural health monitoring.
