About Me

I am a Ph.D. researcher in Geotechnical Engineering at the Institute of Mountain Hazards and Environment, Chinese Academy of Sciences. My research focuses on rock–ice avalanche dynamics, particularly how fragmentation influences flow rheology, mobility, and granular segregation.

I use numerical modeling (e.g., DEM simulations with ESyS-Particle) combined with theoretical and data-driven approaches to investigate these processes. My work contributes to improving the understanding and prediction of high-mobility mass flows, with applications in hazard assessment, mitigation, and infrastructure resilience in mountainous regions Keywords:'Rock-ice avalanches', 'Fragmentation', 'Granular flow', 'DEM modeling'
