Biography

Ha Hong Bui is a Professor at Monash University, Australia, where he founded the Monash Computational Geomechanics (MCG) Lab within the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering. His research focuses on bridging scales in modeling localized failure in engineering materials and advancing mathematical models to solve multi-physics problems in geomechanics. His key objective is to develop computational tools that facilitate efficient solutions for real-life engineering applications. Bui is the main developer and founder of GeoXPM, an innovative software designed for solving geomechanics and geotechnical engineering problems involving fractures and large deformations. He has received several prestigious awards, including the 2023 Scott Sloan Paper Award and the 2021 ALERT Research Medal from the Alliance Laboratories Europe. Bui also serves as an editor for leading journals in computational geomechanics and sits on the editorial boards of esteemed publications. His work aligns with global sustainable development goals, particularly in areas related to computational geomechanics, constitutive modeling, geotechnical engineering, fracture/damage modeling, soil liquefactions, and mesh-free methods.
