Junlong will move to the University of Manchester in Feb 2024

Our rock mechanics research team is looking for self-motivated PhD students to join us at Manchester, starting in Jan/April/July/Sept 2024. Please get in touch if you are interested (shangjunlongcsu@gmail.com
Rock Mechanics and Geomechanics
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 hydraulic behaviour of rocks and fractures under subsurface environments. We are interested in coupled thermal–hydrological–mechanical–chemical (THMC) processes in fractured rocks and clay formations with applications in the context of energy transition (subsurface nuclear waste disposal, geothermal energy extraction, hydrogen storage. etc).


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.
