Natural geomaterials exhibit a wide range in size, physical properties, chemical properties, and mechanical behaviors. Soils that are composed of mixtures of particles with different physical and chemical properties pose a challenge to characterization and quantification of the engineering properties. Thus, our first research area is the characterization/synthesis of various physical-chemical mixed soils. 

The combination of geotechnics, geophysics, and geochemistry is the essential driving force for innovation in the characterization/synthesis of various physical-chemical mixed soils or new engineered soils. Thus, our research group merges geotechnics, geophysics, and geochemistry!

Additionally, our research areas include the following: 

     - Subsurface exploration (or soil characterization) using geophysical test and/or in-situ test

     - Comprehensive characterization of physical-chemical mixed soils 

     - Evaluation of the role of mineral coatings on the mechanical behavior of engineered soils

     - Beneficial reuse of waste materials (fly ash, red mud, and others) 

     - Erosion control and modeling

     - Ground improvement (e.g. dynamic compaction, fiber inclusion, and mineral grouting)
