| Prof. Zhenyu YinThe Hong Kong Polytechnic University, HK, China Zhenyu Yin, Professor, The Hong Kong Polytechnic University. Prof. Yin received his Bachelor's Degree in Architectural Engineering from Zhejiang University in 1997, and then worked in Zhejiang Jiahua Architectural Design Co., Ltd. for 5 years. He received his Master's Degree and Ph.D. Degree in Geotechnical Engineering from Ecole Centrale Polytechnique de Nantes, France, in 2003 and 2006, respectively (with a joint training program at Tongji University during his Ph.D. period). He was selected as one of the "Oriental Scholars" by Shanghai Municipality in 2011. He is also an associate editor of European Journal of Environment and Civil Engineering (EJECE), Geotechnique Letters, ASCE-IJOM, and an associate editor of Canadian Geotechnical Engineering (Can. Geot. J.), Acta Geotechnica, Transportation Geotechnics, Computers and Geotechnics, GeoRisk, IJNAMG and other journals editorial board; mainly engaged in teaching and research in geotechnics and geotechnical engineering, in recent years, he has published more than 300 SCI papers in international core journals. Prof. Zhenyu Yin's main research interests include: (1) macro and micro properties of soils and constitutive relationships; (2) model testing and numerical analysis of large deformations in geotechnical engineering; (3) application of artificial intelligence in geotechnical engineering. |
| Senior Engineer (Professor Level) , Guanghua YangGuangdong Research Institute of Water Resources and Hydropower, China Guanghua Yang, male, born in 1962, is a member of the Communist Party of China. He holds a Ph.D. and is a professor-level senior engineer, doctoral supervisor, and nationally certified civil engineer (geotechnical and hydroelectric engineering). He is also an inaugural Guangdong Provincial Engineering Survey and Design Master, Honorary President and Director of the Academic Committee of the Guangdong Research Institute of Water Resources and Hydropower, Chief Science and Technology Advisor to the Guangdong Provincial Department of Water Resources, and Chairman of the Guangdong Society of Rock Mechanics and Engineering. With a long-term dedication to geotechnical engineering, he discovered and established a new theory—the Generalized (Plastic) Potential Theory. He proposed the incremental calculation method considering the entire construction process, the in-situ soil tangent modulus method for nonlinear settlement calculation of foundations, and a new approach for determining foundation bearing capacity based on the load-settlement curve of actual foundations. Additionally, he introduced the stress-displacement field method for slope stability analysis. He has participated in or led over 300 engineering research, treatment design, and consulting projects, published four monographs, and authored more than 300 academic papers. He has presided over three National Natural Science Foundation of China projects and served as the chief editor of two Guangdong provincial local standards while contributing to the review and compilation of multiple local standards in Guangdong Province and Shenzhen City. |
