Yuanchao Zhang, Ph.D., Associate Professor. In recent years, I have been mainly engaged in the research of tunnel engineering, rail transportation, urban underground space, etc. In 2019, I was sponsored by the China Scholarship Council to study for PhD at Nagasaki University in Japan under the supervision of Professor Yujing Jiang, a foreign academician of the Japanese Academy of Engineering. I was awarded the President's Award of Nagasaki University (the only winner of department of engineering) and the Outstanding Doctoral Award of the Kyushu Branch of the Japan Society of Geotechnical Engineering. I have published more than 15 academic papers and received 2 national invention patents since my doctoral studies. Also, I have served as the guest editor-in-chief of Advances in Civil Engineering, Shock and Vibration, and Sustainability, and have given two presentations at international conferences.
