  Biographical Sketch
  
  Dr. Yiqi Wu is a Post-doctoral Research Associate in Civil Engineering at the University of Sheffield. She has been collaborating closely with Network Rail on projects related to UK railway drainage assets. Yiqi has developed degradation and performance models that enable a better understanding of the impact of both asset conditions and future climate change on drainage performance. Her work extends to the development of a comprehensive whole-life cost framework, aiding in the effective management of assets by providing proactive intervention strategies to mitigate flooding risks and minimise overall life cycle costs. Additionally, Yiqi is actively involved in various research projects investigating the risk of railway drainage related failures using Machine Learning techniques.
