Geotechnical Engineering PhD openings at Missouri S&T
3660
Missouri S&T is recruiting 2-3 highly-motivated doctoral students in civil engineering to become part of a team researching the latest science and technology in GEOTECHNICAL ENGINEERING.
Missouri S&T Civil Engineering program Ranks #48 in the US NEWS.
Projects will focus on the following national need research areas:
; Unsaturated Soil Mechanics
; Advanced Testing Techniques for Geo-material Characterization
; Constitutive Modeling of Coupled Hydro-, Chemo-, Thermo-, Mechanical Behavior of Geo-materials
; Numerical Methods and Modeling
; Remote Sensing for Geotechnical Applications
; Foundation on Expansive and Collapsible Soils
; Slope Stability and Retaining Walls
; Soil Stabilization and Ground Improvement
; Geotechnical Applications in Pavement Engineering
; Frozen Ground Engineering (Permafrost Degradation, Frost Heave and Thaw Weakening)
; Remote Sensing, Deep Learning, Image Analysis, and Computer Vision and their applications in Civil Engineering
TOFEL and GRE tests are required for admission.
Full Graduate Research Assistanship of Graduate Teaching Assistanships will be provided for qualified students, which covers full tuition and stipend.
Interested students please contact Dr. Xiong Zhang at 1point3acres.com
Dr. Xiong Zhang is the James A. Heidman Professor in the Department of Civil, Architectural, and Environmental Engineering at the Missouri University of Science and Technology (Missouri S&T). He received his Ph.D. degree in Civil Engineering from Texas A&M University. Before he joined in the Missouri S&T, he worked at the University of Alaska Fairbanks and University of Cincinnati for 10 years.
Dr. Zhang has been teaching and conducting research in the field of geotechnical engineering since 1992. His studies focus on development of advanced laboratory techniques to rapidly characterize geomaterials, constitutive modeling coupled hydro-mechanical behavior of unsaturated soils, numerical modeling of climate-soil-structure interaction, slope stability analysis, soil stabilization and ground improvement, and frozen ground engineering. He recently received the 2016 International Innovation Award in Unsaturated Soil Mechanics from TC106 Committee on Unsaturated Soils within the International Society for Soil Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering.
Dr. Zhang is currently serving as editorial board member of Canadian Geotechnical Journal, Associate Editor for ASCE Journal of Cold Region Engineering. He also serves as a chair of ASCE GI Shallow Foundation Committee and committee member of several nationwide technical committees such as ASCE GI Committee on Design of Residential Structures on Expansive Soil Standards, ASCE GI Pavement Committee, TRB AFP60 Committee on Engineering Behavior of Unsaturated Soils, and TRB AFS20 Committee on Soil and Rock Instrumentation.
