Multiscale Geomechanics and Geotechnical Digital Twin (MG²DT) Lab
Our mission is to advance geotechnical science and engineering for secure, affordable, reliable, and intelligent infrastructure systems.
We study the multiscale and multiphysics behavior of soils and rocks, develop robust physics-based and data-driven models, and leverage digital twin frameworks to support hazard characterization, risk assessment, and resilient infrastructure design under changing environmental conditions.
The lab focuses on understanding and modeling the complex behavior of geomaterials across spatial and temporal scales. By integrating experimental insight, high-fidelity numerical modeling, and data-driven approaches, we develop digital twin platforms for geotechnical infrastructure systems. Our research supports hazard mitigation, climate adaptation, and sustainable infrastructure by enabling system-level prediction, uncertainty-aware decision-making, and adaptive infrastructure management.
