Structural Engineer: Shuna earned her BS in Civil Engineering from Central South University, China, her MS in Structural Engineering from Tongji University, China, and her PhD in Civil Engineering from Texas A&M University, Texas. Passionate about learning, Shuna also has over 7 years experience working a diversity of intern positions helping as a research assistant, teaching assistant, and now a volunteer with One Community. She is skilled in structural analysis using SAP 2000, ETABS, RISA-3D, PERFORM 3D, et al. The projects she has participated in during her previous professional experiences range from timber structures to steel structures. Born and growing up on an island, Shuna has witnessed rapid environmental changes and an increasing frequency and severity of natural disasters impacting densely populated areas. This has driven her to learn and apply engineering principles and building-design tools to help produce economical, low-impact, and durable building systems. As a volunteer on the One Community Team, Shuna is applying all her experience and knowledge by helping with the structural engineering details for the Duplicable City Center.
