Danyang Su

Danyang Su is a Researcher at the University of British Columbia (UBC), affiliated with the Department of Earth, Ocean and Atmospheric Sciences within the Faculty of Science. He holds a Ph.D. in Hydraulic Structure Engineering (Zhejiang University, 2012) and a B.E. in Hydrology and Water Resources Engineering (Zhejiang University, 2006). His primary roles include Research Associate (2017–present) and Postdoctoral Fellow (2012–2017) at UBC.

Research Focus: Dr. Su specializes in computational modeling of subsurface hydrological processes, reactive transport in porous media/fractured networks, and geochemical repository stability. His work emphasizes large-scale reactive transport modeling via the MIN3P code, including parallelization and unstructured grid implementations. Key contributions include enhancing MIN3P’s capabilities for complex domain simulations and long-term geochemical process understanding.

Publications Overview: His recent work (2018–2024) spans topics like CO2 mineral trapping via root systems, ice sheet impact on sedimentary basins, and multibarrier system geochemistry. Articles frequently address environmental challenges such as GHG cycling in agricultural soils and permafrost waste rock management.

Technical Contributions: He maintains MIN3P’s codebase, participates in reactive transport benchmarking, and mentors graduate students. His research integrates numerical methods with field applications, addressing climate change impacts and engineered system stability.
