请给我们一些关于您自己的背景信息以及您如何参与土木工程研究。
我出生在湖南,中国,收到我的博士学位。in Chemistry from the Institute of Chemistry, Chinese Academy of Sciences in 1999. Currently I am a Faculty Member at the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, Washington State University (WSU) and direct the National Center for Transportation Infrastructure Durability & Life-Extension (TriDurLE) sponsored by the U.S. Department of Transportation.
你可以说，我是一个非常规的土木工程教授，因为我没有专门在土木工程中的任何学位。我在化学领域和第二个M.S中占有三度。在工业与管理工程中。
2003年初开始我的职业生涯，我加入了蒙大拿州立大学的大学交通中心，致力于了解和缓解雪和冰控制业务的环境影响。
然后我花了大约十年的开展研究，主要是在两个方面：可持续的冬季道路运营和寒冷气候的基础设施耐用性。
自2014年加入WSU以来，我的研究更加集中了解运输基础设施的保存和恢复力，因为我越来越着迷于我们在这一领域的研究人员所采取的挑战，以及我们可以制造的影响。
什么是瞄准和范围基础设施保存与恢复力（JIPR)?
JIPR aims to become the flagship journal in the multidisciplinary field of infrastructure preservation and resilience (IPR), providing a cross-disciplinary forum for researchers to disseminate innovative research and engineering practices that preserve the integrity, performance, and resilience of infrastructure systems.
这journal covers a broad scope, with the focus on new materials, new technologies, and new perspectives, as well as holistic solutions that would benefit various infrastructure assets amid diverse climatic conditions, man-made and natural hazards, and other risks and uncertainties.
由于研究和讨论，您希望在研究和讨论中提供什么样的真实含义和改进，这杂志将提供？
We hope this journal will facilitate in-depth dialogue between the infrastructure engineering community and the risk and resilience management community. As a result of the research and discussion this journal will provide, we hope to see new knowledge being produced, new approaches being inspired, new technologies being engineered, new collaborations being forged, and ultimately new solutions being implemented, to enhance the durability, reliability, performance, and resilience of infrastructure systems.
What are the challenges standing in the way of implementing better IPR practices, and what are the benefits and implications we could see if we conquer these challenges?
我在实施更好的知识产权实践时所看到的挑战位于技术和非技术领域。在技术领域，我们需要更好地整合来自与知识产权相关的不同学科的最新知识，因为这些学科目前没有充分地互相沟通或协作。
我们还需要在基础设施保存和弹性的更大背景下重新定义我们的研究需求，并通过不同的镜头检查它们。在非技术领域，许多其他挑战妨碍，例如政策，金融，教育和劳动力发展的方式。
If we are able to conquer these challenges, the benefits and implications we could see are substantial to say the least. Because better IPR practices would lead to longer-lasting, better-performing, and more reliable infrastructures that will cost less over their entire life cycle and are able to recover from disruptions and risks more quickly. These, in turn, translate to considerable cost savings as well as benefits to the natural environment, human safety, and society as a whole.
为什么开放式访问出版模型最适合在本研究区域中继信息？
这开放访问publication model with a reputable publisher like Springer Nature works great in facilitating the flow of information and knowledge in this inherently multidisciplinary research area. The main benefits to the authors include timeliness of publication, high visibility, likelihood of high citations, and thus broader impacts.
您希望在期刊上的第一年内完成哪些主要目标？在期刊庆祝第五年的时候，你希望达到的一些里程碑是什么？
在第一年内，我希望在本杂志中发表至少二十个高质量的论文，更重要的是，开始在利益相关者群体中建立JIPR的名称，并建立日志的知名度和声誉。
By the time the JIPR celebrates its fifth year, I hope to have this journal considered by the IPR scholars as a highly trustworthy and reputable platform for disseminating their research and knowledge. Some of the milestones may include JIPR being indexed by EI Compendex and Web of Science databases.
