ResumeYifei Sun is a Professor of Civil Engineering, at the College of Civil and Transportation Engineering, Hohai University. Prior to joining Hohai University, he had been successively appointed as a Research Fellow in the Ruhr Universität – Bochum and the Poznan University of Technology. His current research is directed towards the development of advanced numerical and analytical methodologies, and their applications to challenging long-term strength and deformation of geomaterials, e.g., sand, clay, ballast, and rockfill, etc., under transport or marine environment. Up until now, he has published tens of papers in leading international journals, and presented several keynote lectures in national and international conferences. He would like to welcome international PhD students who have potential interest and ambition to exploit and lead the forefront of numerical and analytical geotechnics.
