About

Haoran Liang 梁皓然
Structural Engineering MEng @ University of Alberta | Research Assistant @ SITE Lab

I am a structural engineering graduate with a Master’s degree from the University of Alberta and a Bachelor’s from Wuhan University. I currently work as a research assistant in the Smart Infrastructure Technologies (SITE) Research Group.

My research focuses on integrating structural engineering with AI, particularly in automating structural analysis and design workflows using large language models. I am deeply interested in multi-agent systems, model coordination, and domain-specific reasoning for structural engineering. In my current research, I use OpenSees and finite element modeling to automate routine structural analysis tasks, and explore how AI systems—particularly large language models—can assist in generating, verifying, and documenting code-compliant structural designs.

I'm always open to discussions on structural design, AI-powered engineering workflows, or potential collaborations. Feel free to get in touch!
