## About Me

Currently, I am a research assistant professor in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at The Hong Kong Polytechnic University. I work with Prof. Zhen-Yu Yin. Prior to joining PolyU, I received my Ph.D. degree in the [Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering](https://cee.stanford.edu/) at [Stanford University](https://www.stanford.edu/) in June 2021, advised by Prof. [Ronaldo I. Borja](https://web.stanford.edu/~borja/). My Ph.D. thesis is **MATHEMATICAL MODELING OF UNCONVENTIONAL GEOMATERIALS**. I received my B.Eng. degree from [Tongji University](https://www.tongji.edu.cn/) in July 2016, advised by Prof. [Hehua Zhu](https://ysg.ckcest.cn/html/details/8230/index.html) for the final year project, with an undergraduate minor degree in Applied Mathematics.

Here are the [MATLAB main file](../assets/files/anisotropic_elasticity.txt){:target="_blank"} and two associated functions ([Double contraction](../assets/files/double_dot.txt){:target="_blank"} and [Conversion](../assets/files/stiffness_to_mat6by6.txt){:target="_blank"}) for anisotropic elasticity (fourth-order elastic moduli tensor, 9\*9 matrix form, Voigt notation 6\*6 matrix form, etc.) The theory could be found in this [[PDF]](../assets/files/Shared_1.pdf){:target="_blank"}.

## Teaching

My primary teaching objective is to equip students with a solid foundation in geomechanics, fostering their ability to think critically and innovatively. This will enable them to meet the increasing societal demands for energy and environmental sustainability. I am passionate about nurturing their capabilities and enthusiasm for advancing fundamental knowledge in geomechanics. I am keen on teaching both fundamental and applied courses in areas such as rock and soil mechanics, solid mechanics, finite element method, and elasticity and inelasticity. I also aim to offer general courses in geotechnical engineering to cultivate the upcoming generation of leaders in the field of geomechanics.


I have been teaching and giving lectures on (1) [Analytical and Numerical Methods in Geotechnical Engineering](https://www.polyu.edu.hk/cee/docdrive/CSE583_as%20of%2020230818.pdf){:target="_blank"} for Semester Two of 2022/23 and 2023/24; (2) CE620 Research Methods for Semester One of 2023/24 at The Hong Kong Polytechnic University. In addition, I have been a teaching assistant for [Computational Poromechanics](https://web.stanford.edu/~borja/cour/cee294_syllabus.pdf){:target="_blank"} at Stanford University.
