Yilin Gui

Dr Yilin Gui is a Senior Lecturer in Geotechnical Engineering at the School of Civil & Environmental Engineering, Queensland University of Technology (QUT), since 2019. Previously, he held positions as Lecturer at Newcastle University (UK) and Research Fellow at Nanyang Technological University and Monash University. He earned his PhD from the University of New South Wales (UNSW) and a Postgraduate Certificate in Academic Practice from Newcastle University, UK. As a Senior Fellow of the Higher Education Academy, he emphasizes innovative teaching and research in geomechanics.

His research focuses on rock and soil mechanics, computational modeling of geomaterials, geoenvironmental engineering, and mining engineering. Key areas include expansive soils, thermal effects on geotechnical materials, and machine learning applications in pavement stability and blast prediction. He actively supervises PhD candidates and offers scholarships.

Dr Gui holds editorial roles in the Journal of Rock Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering. He is a member of leading professional bodies, including the Australian Geomechanics Society, International Society for Soil Mechanics, and UK Carbon Capture and Storage Research Centre. His work bridges computational methods with practical geotechnical challenges, contributing to sustainable infrastructure and environmental resilience.
