Dr. Wang Yuze obtained her Ph.D in engineering in the University of Cambridge in 2019 under supervision of Prof. Kenichi Soga, Fellow of the Royal Academy of Engineering. During 2019 and 2020, Dr. Wang worked as a postdoctoral research associate in Durham University.Dr. Wang’s current research interests are seabed stabilization, marine bio-geotechnics, marine energy geotechnics, and marine geotechnics from micro to macro. She has been doing significant research on theory of reactive fluid transport behavior in porous medium, the use of Microbial-Induced Carbonate Precipitation or biopolymers for soil stabilization. In recent years, Dr Wang has published more than 10 high-quality journal/top conference papers journals, such as Geotechnique，JGGE，Engineering Geology, Geotextiles and Geomembranes and conference preceedings, such as ISCMGE and ICEG. She regularly serves as reviewer for several top journals including JGGE and ES&T, etc.Dr. Wang Yuze’s research group focuses on marine geotechnical engineering from micro to macro. At the micro level, the group mainly focuses on the use of microfluidic chips, X-ray computed tomography, environmental scanning electron microscope and other advanced chemical, biomedical media and imaging techniques scale microbial mineralization, gas production and membrane biochemical reaction process and multi-phase reaction flow microscopic migration mechanism, and developing marine rock and new soil reinforcement technologies related to seabed improvement and oil and gas extraction through lab unit model tests and numerical simulations. The research group, explored the frontier issues related to biochemical reaction processes in marine geotechnical engineering and other fields at the microscale. At the macroscale, new methods are to proposed for the stabilization of seabed and oil/gas exploitation through lab unit model tests and numerical simulations.【To apply】Interested cadidate may send his/her resume, research plan, representative works (papers, patents, awards, etc.), tentative arrival time, and the contact of 3 referrers to Ms. Chen Xinyun (chenxy33@mail.sustech.edu.cn) with title “RA Application-Your Name Here “, and cc Dr. Wang Yuze (wangyz@sustech.edu.cn).Contact InfoMs. CHEN XinyunTelephone (0755) 88015278Email：chenxy33@mail.sustech.edu.cnOffice address：Room 211, Building 9, Chuangyuan, Southern University of Science and Technology, 1088 Xueyuan Avenue, Nanshan District, Shenzhen, GuangdongJob Location
