Unsaturated Soils, Hydrogeology and Environmental Geotechnics
Dr. Weimin YE is a full Professor and Head of Geological Engineering Discipline in School of Civil Engineering at Tongji University, China. Prof YE’s research interests include unsaturated soils, hydrogeology and environmental geotechnics. He conducts research in compacted bentonite for using as buffer materials in deep geological repository for disposal of high level radioactive waste in China for more than 20 years. In this direction, he is exploring the engineering properties of GMZ bentonite under Chemo-thermo-hydro-mechanical coupling conditions. He has more than 400 publications including more than 230 international journal papers.
