Sharing our latest work on gas trapping in porous media, with implications for underground CO₂ and hydrogen storage. Led by PhD student Haiyi Zhong, with Zhongzheng Wang and Si Suo. The paper can be accessed via doi.org/10.1016/j.jgsc…

Tuning droplet motion in deformable non-parallel channels. Our recent work by PhD student Haiyi Zhong appeared as @ACSPublications Langmuir #MyACSCover doi.org/10.1021/acs.la…

In this paper (doi.org/10.1063/5.0229…), PhD student Yu Chen used a rotating drum and two-phase flow model to test granular rheological behaviour under submerged conditions. Jointly with @SsXjtu @DehengW Mingrui and Haiyi. Congrats to Yu on his first paper; more is on the way.

For storing large quantities (~Gt) of green hydrogen underground, can we directly transfer our knowledge on geological carbon storage? This review addresses this question. Joint efforts @Eng_IT_Sydney @SydneyNano @ZJU_China and @UofGlasgow, @SydneyUniWorld doi.org/10.1016/j.mtsu…

和一亿美元擦肩而过。

Our @AssistanceDogs puppy, Jaya, is enjoying @Sydney_Uni campus today.

@stukhan @Sydney_Uni Welcome to the School!

I’m proud to announce that I start as Head of School of Civil Engineering at @Sydney_Uni today. This is a fantastic school with teaching and research strengths in structural engineering, geomechanics, transportation, humanitarian engineering, wind and environmental engineering.

Last Friday, Yanyao Bao (@baoyanyao1992, now at @Arup) received his #PhD with excellent work on water management in PEM fuel cells for #RenewableEnergy and #Hydrogen. It was such a lovely day to take graduation photos with Dr Bao and his family! @SydneyNano and @CIVIL_Sydney

It was great to see our @SydneyNano #ECR Ambassadors in 3D space.

Our @SydneyNano joins university multidisciplinary initiatives for supporting the #VoiceToParliament.

Flowers in the garden merge just a few days into spring.

-> Wind turbines.

Today, I brought my whole #CIVL6456 Energy Geotechincs classroom from @CIVIL_Sydney to join a seminar on designing offshore windturbes at @EngAustralia. Great excursion and learning experience.

Thank you, the #Matildas .

@zhigangsuo Very sorry to hear that. My deep condolences.

My wife, Denian, died at home, on Sunday, 30 July 2023. She was diagnosed with glioblastoma in March 2018. The last five years have been fulfilling. She saw births of two more grandchildren. She attended wedding of our second son. She pointed to me pretty spots on our walks.

Finished my 4-week intensive teaching session on Statics. Great student participation for the return to campus mode. Bonus question: Spot my teaching assistant.

@SydneyNano Thanks. Jaya is a 10-month-old puppy @AssistanceDogs. He is very helpful in my daily meeting/teaching activities at @Eng_IT_Sydney and @SydneyNano

🐶 Heart-warming moments at Sydney Nano as Deputy Director Yixiang Gan shares a precious connection with our youngest inspiration, 10-month-old Jaya! #SydneyNano #ScienceWithLove

Packing is critical to behaviors of a particle assembly. Adjustable properties can be realized by mixing particles of different sizes. So to what extent can we control packing? Is it possible for a binary-sized packing to be looser than a mono-sized one? sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

@WeiboCai Such a beautiful stadium.

Benfica stadium (Estádio do Sport Lisboa e Benfica), opened on October 25, 2003, has ~65000 seats. It is the largest stadium in Portugal 🇵🇹.
