The research work has been carried out by numerous co-workers from different countries. The research proposals are approved by the foundation board. Currently, the following fellows are financially supported by the foundation:
Dr. Shun Wang
Dr. Shun Wang is a post-doc working on constitutive theories, numerical modeling, and geo-hazards. His research interest is constitutive modeling of geomaterials focusing on geomechanics, thermomechanics, and unsaturated soil mechanics. Dr. Wang also has wide experience in laboratory and field testing of shear zone material from slow-moving landslides. He has published several papers about constitutive models of sands and clays, numerical simulation of geomaterials, and creep properties of shear zone material. He has been taking part in several EU projects dealing with geo-hazards.
MSc. Mohammad Javad Alipour
MSc. Mohammad Javad Alipour is a PhD Student at the Institute of Geotechnical Engineering, University of Natural Resources and Life Sciences, Vienna. He finished his Master program at the Shiraz University of Technology in the major of Geotechnical engineering in 2017. He has the experience of working on liquefaction, numerical modelling, constitutive modelling and laboratory SS testing. Furthermore, MSc. Alipour has published articles about the instability of granular materials under CSD stress path by using an elastoplastic constitutive model, and instability of loose sand in the simple shear tests. In his PhD program, he is working on the hypoplastic constitutive model, fast movement of granular materials and ring shear testing.
MSc. Yadong Wang
MSc. Yadong Wang is a PhD Student at the Institute of Geotechnical Engineering, BOKU. His doctoral research topic is numerical simulation of geotechnical processes. He is mainly responsible for numerical modeling using hypoplastic constitutive models and improved learning of SPH with GPU accelerated method for landslide. MSc. Wang completed his master's courses in Geotechnical Engineering (Earthquake Engineering) and his graduation thesis at Beijing University of Technology in July 2019. The master's project is nonlinear analysis of layered soils under the oblique incidence of earthquake.
