Beautiful Landscape
Welcome to the Rock Mechanics Group at University of Glasgow 

We nurture innovations in rock mechanics & geomechanics research
for sustainable infrastructure and earth resources
Our research combines an array of approaches, including laboratory/field experiments, computational modeling, and analytical solutions, to understand the mechanical and hydrological behaviour of rocks and fractures under subsurface environments and anthropogenic conditions. We are recently more interested in coupled thermal–hydrological–mechanical–chemical (THMC) processes in fractured rocks and clay formations with applications in energy transition (e.g., geothermal energy extraction, nuclear waste disposal, underground energy (hydrogen) storage).


JOIN US 
  • For PhD Students 
We welcome qualified PhD applicants who are interested in our research areas to join our group. Please contact us via email before Online application. Note that most positions are only open to UK home students. For international students, please mention your funding sources when emailing us. 

NEW PhD Projects (start in 2024): 

1. Hydrogen storage in underground rock caverns

2. 3D printing of rock fractures

 
  • For Postdoc and Visiting Scholars
We are also keen on research collaborations (e.g., applications for research projects/grants, Marie Curie FellowshipNewton Postdoc Fellowship, etc.) - please contact us if you are interested.
