معرفی
Shun Uchida is an Associate Professor in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI), joining the Geotechnical Group in 2014. He specializes in multiphysics problems at the intersection of Energy Geotechnics, Computational Geomechanics, and Environmental Geotechnics.
- Education:
- BSc in Civil Engineering, Waseda University (2006)
- MPhil and PhD in Geotechnical Engineering, University of Cambridge (2008, 2013)
- Postdoctoral Research, Technion – Israel Institute of Technology
His research focuses on coupled thermo-hydro-mechanical (THM) processes in geomaterials, particularly methane hydrate-bearing sediments, seismic-induced submarine landslides, and contaminant barrier systems. His work integrates advanced numerical modeling with experimental validation.
Key trends in his publications include gas hydrate extraction optimization, sand migration dynamics, and AI-driven geotechnical analysis. Recent studies emphasize CO2 injection for methane recovery and environmental impacts of hydrate dissociation.
