PhD Qingchen Liu's latest work on the dynamic responses of confined concrete, modelled using three material phases at the mesoscale. The paper has now been published in Engineering Fracture Mechanics, just a few days before his successful PhD defence. https://t.co/iZUYjdRVt8

Sharing our latest work on gas trapping in porous media, with implications for underground CO₂ and hydrogen storage.

Led by PhD student Haiyi Zhong, with Zhongzheng Wang and Si Suo. The paper can be accessed via https://t.co/PhoVswBECk

In this paper (https://t.co/H5tjOY96go), PhD student Yu Chen used a rotating drum and two-phase flow model to test granular rheological behaviour under submerged conditions. Jointly with @SsXjtu @DehengW Mingrui and Haiyi. Congrats to Yu on his first paper; more is on the way.

For storing large quantities (~Gt) of green hydrogen underground, can we directly transfer our knowledge on geological carbon storage? This review addresses this question. Joint efforts @Eng_IT_Sydney @SydneyNano @ZJU_China and @UofGlasgow, @SydneyUniWorld https://t.co/ly0rxqZZ47

Last Friday, Yanyao Bao (@baoyanyao1992, now at @Arup) received his #PhD with excellent work on water management in PEM fuel cells for #RenewableEnergy and #Hydrogen. It was such a lovely day to take graduation photos with Dr Bao and his family! @SydneyNano and @CIVIL_Sydney

It was great to see our @SydneyNano #ECR Ambassadors in 3D space.

[Sydney Nano @SydneyNano]

It was so great to catch up with our Sydney Nano ECR Ambassadors over lunch today!
Thank you to all of them for attending and supporting our activities ☺️

-> Wind turbines.

[Yixiang Gan @drgan]

Today, I brought my whole #CIVL6456 Energy Geotechincs classroom from @CIVIL_Sydney to join a seminar on designing offshore windturbes at @EngAustralia. Great excursion and learning experience.

[Yixiang Gan @drgan]

Thank you, the #Matildas .

[Yixiang Gan @drgan]

@zhigangsuo Very sorry to hear that. My deep condolences.

[Yixiang Gan @drgan]

Finished my 4-week intensive teaching session on Statics. Great student participation for the return to campus mode.

Bonus question: Spot my teaching assistant.

[Yixiang Gan @drgan]

@SydneyNano Thanks. Jaya is a 10-month-old puppy @AssistanceDogs. He is very helpful in my daily meeting/teaching activities at @Eng_IT_Sydney and @SydneyNano

Packing is critical to behaviors of a particle assembly. Adjustable properties can be realized by mixing particles of different sizes.

So to what extent can we control packing? Is it possible for a binary-sized packing to be looser than a mono-sized one?
