Yangyang Li

Yangyang Li is an Adjunct Lecturer in the Department of Civil & Environmental Engineering at the Monash Suzhou Research Institute, part of Monash University. Their research focuses on geotechnical engineering, environmental science, and disaster mitigation, with particular expertise in landslide monitoring, slope stability analysis using advanced technologies like InSAR, and the integration of machine learning in geotechnical modeling. They actively engage in interdisciplinary projects addressing climate change impacts on infrastructure resilience and urban environmental quality.

Research interests span unsaturated soil mechanics, remote sensing applications, and sustainable geotechnical practices. Key projects include developing databases for soil property prediction, analyzing human mobility's environmental impacts during pandemics, and assessing vegetation roles in landslide prevention. Collaborations include international studies in India and Southeast Asia, emphasizing practical solutions for slope stabilization and air quality management.

Since 2018, Dr. Li has advised PhD students exploring topics like slope susceptibility mapping and environmental policy analysis. Their work contributes to UN Sustainable Development Goals related to climate action and sustainable cities. Recent achievements include patent filings for geotechnical innovations and over 18 peer-reviewed publications in journals such as Remote Sensing and Scientific Reports.
