معرفی
Xi Sun is a Research Fellow at RMIT University's School of Engineering, specializing in civil and geotechnical engineering with a focus on tree-soil interactions, expansive soils, and climate impacts. His work bridges engineering and environmental science, addressing challenges in urban infrastructure and sustainable land management. He holds a postdoctoral position and is affiliated with RMIT’s City Campus in Australia.
Research interests include expansive soils behavior, field instrumentation, climate-plant-soil interactions, and tree-induced structural damage assessment. His studies investigate how tree species affect soil moisture dynamics and ground movement in urban settings, with applications to infrastructure resilience and climate adaptation.
Key research outputs from 2021 to 2025 explore topics like biochar-enhanced pavement subgrades, empirical modeling of tree-soil mechanisms, and climate change impacts on expansive soil movements. His work often involves interdisciplinary collaboration, combining field monitoring with computational modeling to address real-world engineering challenges.
Dr. Sun’s contributions include over 20 peer-reviewed articles, focusing on geotechnical engineering innovations, urban tree management, and sustainable infrastructure solutions. His research aligns with RMIT’s commitment to addressing global environmental and engineering challenges through applied research.
