Academic qualifications

  • Ph.D. Candidate in Geotechnical Engineering, Hong Kong Polytechnic University, 2020 - now
  • Master in Geotechnical Engineering, Hohai University, Nanjing, 2017 – 2020
  • Bachelor in Civil Engineering, Hohai University, Nanjing, 2013 – 2017

Research interests

  • DEM simulation in geotechnical engineering
  • Constitutive modeling of soils
  • Coupled hydro-mechanical modeling of suffusion in gap-graded cohesionless soils

Topic 1：DEM simulation of laboratory shear tests

  • Contribution: simulated four common laboratory shear tests by DEM and compared the differences among them from a microscopic view.
  • Significance: providing a clear insight on the different failure patterns among different shear tests.






Topic 2：The coupled CFD-DEM simulation of slope instability induced by internal erosion

  • Contribution: set up the coupled CFD-DEM model of loose granular slope to study the instability induced by internal erosion considering the solid-liquid-gas interaction.
  • Significance: helping to have a better understanding of the moving and changes of the three phases during the process of slope failure.
