معرفی
Xiang Li serves as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Geological and Mining Engineering and Sciences within the College of Engineering at Michigan Technological University, specializing in geotechnical engineering with emphasis on natural hazard analysis and geomechanics.
His academic credentials include:
- PhD in Geotechnical Engineering from Northwestern University
- MS in Geotechnical Engineering from Northwestern University
Dr. Li's research integrates computational modeling with field observation to address critical geohazards:
- Advanced analysis of slope stability and landslide dynamics
- Hydromechanical behavior of unsaturated soils under rainfall conditions
- Constitutive modeling of earthen materials and failure mechanisms
- Application of InSAR and data-driven techniques for hazard monitoring
- Finite Element modeling of progressive failure processes
- Natural hazard assessment and mitigation strategies
His publication record (2020-2024) demonstrates consistent innovation in landslide mechanics, particularly through integration of InSAR technology with viscoplastic modeling to investigate hydro-mechanical couplings in slow-moving landslides. Recent work focuses on California Coast Ranges applications and regional-scale hazard mapping, bridging theoretical geomechanics with practical disaster prevention.
