Chen Hu
Geomechanics Software Engineer
Dr. Hu has experience centered on understanding the mechanical behaviors of quasi-brittle materials by numerical modeling and laboratory experiments. His proficiency extends to the development of sophisticated probabilistic models for quasi-brittle materials, such as rock and ceramics, with a particular focus on extrapolating laboratory findings to predict failure risks in real-world applications. In addition to his primary field of study, Dr. Hu holds a master’s degree in computer science, where he engages in diverse projects spanning computer vision, natural language processing, and the development of real-time rendering technologies. Areas of expertise include fracture mechanics, rock mechanics, reliability analysis, machine learning, and computer graphics.
