Dr. Wang is currently an Associate Professor at the Department of Architecture and Civil Engineering at City University of Hong Kong. Dr. Wang is internationally well-known for his works within the field of X-ray micro-computed tomography (micro-CT) characterization and discrete element method (DEM) modeling of the micromechanics of granular soils. His research aims to explore the multiscale physics and mechanics underlying the macroscopic soil behavior. His works over the past two decades include the micro-CT characterization of micro-structures and micro-morphologies of geomaterials, and the DEM modeling and analysis of fundamental soil behaviors of crushable sands and their applications in various kinds of geotechnical engineering problems such as pile foundation, slope stability and retaining structures, etc. Dr. Wang's work has been awarded the prestigious international prizes including 2011 Geotechnical Research Medal (UK Institution of Civil Engineers) and 2010 Higher Education Institutions Outstanding Research Award - Natural Science Award (the Ministry of Education of China). He has delieved a number of keynote and invited lectures in international conferences and workshops. So far Dr. Wang has published 130 peer-reviewed articles including 70 SCI journal papers and over 60 international conference papers.
