About
Shun Uchida joined our Geotechnical Group in 2014 as Assistant Professor. He completed his undergraduate study at Waseda University, Japan, in 2006. He received MPhil (2008) and PhD (2013) at Cambridge University, UK, followed by postdoctoral research at Technion – Israel Institute of Technology.
His expertise is geotechnical numerical analysis, especially in the fields of multiphysics problems such as energy geotechnics, computational geomechanics and environmental geotechnics. His current research interests are geomechanical behavior of methane hydrate-bearing sediments, thermo-hydro-chemo-mechanical modeling of contaminant barrier system and flow induced particle migration in underground storage environments.
Research
Our research focuses on multiphysics problems in geotechnical engineering including energy geotechnics, computational geomechanics and environmental geotechnics. More specifically, we investigate coupled thermo-hydro-mechanical modeling of geomaterials, physicochemical processes in unsaturated soil behavior and solute transport in multiphase deformable porous media. Please contact us if you are interested in our research and joining the group.
