Research Expertise:
Computational geomechanics; Thermo-hydro-mechanical (THM) modeling of freeze–thaw processes; Multiphase and multiscale constitutive modeling; Finite element and particle-based numerical methods; Data-driven and machine-learning-assisted modeling
My research combines solid mechanics with machine-learning-enhanced modeling to understand how soils and other earth materials respond to both environmental changes and construction activities. I study how temperature, water flow, and mechanical loading interact with freezing and thawing processes, and develop data-informed, physics-based tools to improve the safety, resilience, and sustainability of civil infrastructure.
