Weibing Gong

Weibing Gong is an Assistant Professor of Geological Engineering in the Department of Geosciences and Geological and Petroleum Engineering at Missouri University of Science and Technology (Missouri S&T), affiliated with the Center for Intelligent Infrastructure in Rolla, Missouri.

His educational background includes:

• Ph.D. in Geosystems Engineering, University of California, Berkeley (2023)
• M.S. in Geotechnical Engineering, Tongji University (2018)
• B.S. in Civil Engineering, Central South University (2015)

Dr. Gong's research centers on natural hazard mitigation, with emphasis on climate change impacts, seismic resilience, and AI-driven infrastructure monitoring. His work integrates remote sensing and machine learning to enhance geological engineering solutions, particularly for landslide prediction and pavement systems, while exploring emerging applications in carbon capture technologies.

Analysis of his 2023-2025 publications reveals a pronounced shift toward physics-informed AI for geotechnical challenges, featuring recurrent themes in regional landslide modeling (especially in Puerto Rico and Greece), dynamic pavement response under traffic loads, and unsaturated soil mechanics. This interdisciplinary approach bridges computational science, civil engineering, and environmental systems through advanced numerical frameworks.

Dr. Gong actively contributes to Missouri S&T's Center for Intelligent Infrastructure, focusing on developing next-generation methodologies for infrastructure resilience against natural hazards through computational innovation and field-based validation.
