M.Sc. Zhanling Lyu
Mr. Zhanling Lyu M.Sc. is working as a university assistant and doctoral candidate since 2023 at the Institute of Geotechnical Engineering, BOKU University. He possesses a strong academic background in Civil Engineering. He gained a bachelor’s degree in Hydraulic Engineering at Xi’an University of Technology in 2015. Afterwards, he moved to Germany and completed the master study with specialization in geotechnical engineering and structural engineering at RWTH Aachen University in 2019. M.Sc. Lyu was employed as a research assistant at the University of Siegen from 2020 to 2022. He is always concentrating on the promoting of offshore floating wind turbines, especially on vibration mitigation of floating platform with tuned damper, anchor keying process and offshore foundations behavior under cyclic loading. In addition to his research activities, he has undertaken teaching tasks for master courses in the last years.
MSc. Yiru Chen
MSc. Yiru Chen is a PhD student at the Institute of Geotechnical Engineering, BOKU University. She completed her master’s degree in Civil Engineering from Tianjin University in 2021, with topics on the discrete element analysis of methane hydrate-bearing sediments. Her doctoral research focuses on hypoplastic modelling of unsaturated soils, with an emphasis on coupling mechanical and hydraulic behaviours. Additionally, she works on implementing constitutive models into finite element method software through user-defined material subroutines.
Dr. Yunteng Wang
Priv.-Doz. Dr. Yunteng Wang is Privatdozent (Venia Docendi) and Principal Investigator at the Institute of Geotechnical Engineering, University of Natural Resources and Life Sciences, Vienna (BOKU). His research focuses on computational geomechanics for better understanding of geological discontinuous structures, such as fracture and deformation bands, in response to environmental and energy-related challenges in earth science. He has published over 40 peer-reviewed articles in highly recognized academic journals, such as Nature Communications, Computer Methods in Applied Mechanics and Engineering, Journal of the Mechanics and Physics of Solids, Rock Mechanics and Rock Engineering, Acta Geotechnica, etc., receiving more than 3000 citations with the H-index of 27. He has been awarded the Best Paper Prize in 2019 in 'Acta Geotechnica', the Editor’s Choice Award in 2021 in 'Journal of Engineering Mechanics - ASCE', the Best PhD Dissertation Award in 2020 and the Best Prize of Natural Science Award in 2023 (2nd Class) by the Chinese Society for Rock Mechanics & Engineering. He is also on the list of Top 2% Most Influential Scientists in 2023 and 2024 by Stanford University. Furthermore, he has obtained several prestigious research grants, including FWF Lise Meitner project (https://www.fwf.ac.at/forschungsradar/10.55776/M3340), OeaD Scientific & Technological Cooperation project, and two Horizon Europe Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions Staff Exchanges projects, i.e., LOC3G (https://cordis.europa.eu/project/id/101129729) and MONUGEO (https://cordis.europa.eu/project/id/101182721), as the Principal Investigator and (Co)-coordinators. For the academic activities, he has organized several mini-symposiums and workshops at some international conferences, such as EMI 2024-IC (Vienna, Austria), ECCOMAS 2024 (Lisboa, Portugal), ICCES 2023 (Shenzhen, China), WCCM 2024 (Toronto, Canada) and WCCM 2022 (Yokohama, Japan).
MSc. Ivan Zaboev
MSc. Ivan Zaboev is a PhD student at the Institute of Geotechnical Engineering at BOKU. He completed his master’s degree in Structural Engineering at Tyumen Industrial University in 2022, focusing his master’s thesis on the behavior of spiral micropiles in soil. His doctoral research centers on multiscale modeling of geomaterials as multiphase media. MSc. Zaboev has experience in numerical modeling using the finite difference multiphase model and Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) methods, as well as conducting laboratory tests across various scales.
