Junho Song holds a B.S. and M.S. in civil engineering (Seoul National University, Korea) and a Ph.D. in civil & environmental engineering (University of California, Berkeley). He has been on the faculty of the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at the University of Illinois since 2005. Prior to coming to the University of Illinois, he was a postdoctoral researcher at the University of California at Berkeley and a senior vulnerability engineer at Risk Management Solutions Inc.

Prof. Song teaches graduate and undergraduate courses in the areas of engineering risk & uncertainty, decision & risk analysis, structural reliability, system reliability, random vibrations, and probabilistic loads on structures.

Research Overview: 

Professor Song has research interests in structural reliability, performance and reliability of complex systems, and random vibrations with applications to earthquake engineering and infrastructure systems subjected to natural and man-made hazards. His previous/ongoing research topics include seismic response and reliability of electrical substation equipment and systems, linear programming bounds on system reliability, reliability of structural systems under stochastic excitation, multi-scale reliability analysis and updating of complex systems, and availability of systems with randomly failing components.
