Doctor of Geomechanics

Sun Yat-sen University

I am now working as an Assistant Professor at the Sun Yat-sen University. My research interests cover all kinds of interesting phenomena related to granular materials, in particular the flow of soil particles and their mixture with fluids. The goal of my research is to establish physics-based constitutive models to better predict the mechanical responses of granular materials and to deploy such models in an efficient numerical framework that can help the design in engineering practice.
