Biography
Dr. Yichuan Zhu leads the Computational Geosystems Laboratory in the Civil & Environmental Engineering Department at Temple University. Prior to joining Temple University, he worked as a Post-doctoral fellow at Kentucky Geological Survey where he applied quantitative methods such as machine learning, Bayesian techniques, and spatio-temporal simulations to solve applied Earth science research problems. He earned his Ph.D. in Civil Engineering from Texas A&M University. His research interests include granular mechanics, ML/AI in Geotechnical and Geological applications, risk/reliability assessment and management, remote sensing, uncertainty quantification, and software development.
