Ha Bui

Professor Ha Bui is the Head of the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at Monash University and an ARC Future Fellow. He holds a PhD in Computational Geomechanics from Ritsumeikan University, Japan, and has been with Monash since 2012. His research focuses on computational mechanics, material modeling, and geomechanics, with a particular emphasis on failure mechanisms of geomaterials and developing predictive tools for geo-disasters. He leads the development of GeoXPM, a particle-based computational software for geotechnical applications. Bui has received numerous awards, including the ALERT Research Medal (2021) and the ARC Future Fellowship (2020). He serves as Editor of Computers & Geotechnics and Associate Editor of multiple journals, contributing significantly to the field through editorial and review work. His research spans numerical methods like SPH and DEM, addressing challenges in geohazard prediction, material behavior under extreme conditions, and infrastructure resilience.
