About the Speaker

Dr. Zhu Hehua holds the position of Distinguished Professor in Geotechnical Engineering at Tongji University, an Academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, and the Director of the State Key Laboratory of Disaster Reduction in Civil Engineering. Dr. Zhu completed his Bachelor's and Master's Degrees in Mining Engineering at Chongqing University in 1983 and 1986, respectively. He then earned his PhD in Structural Engineering (Civil Engineering) from Tongji University in 1989. From 1993 to 1995, he conducted post-doctoral research at the Geo-Research Institute of Osaka and Kyoto University in Japan.

Notably, Dr. Zhu, in collaboration with Prof. Lianyang Zhang, developed the generalized 3D Hoek-Brown rock strength criterion, also known as the Generalized Zhang-Zhu rock strength criterion (GZZ). This criterion has been recommended as a standard by the International Society for Rock Mechanics (ISRM). His contributions to the field have been recognized with several prestigious awards, including the Humboldt Research Prize in 2015 and the T.H.H. medal at ICCES’13 in 2013. Furthermore, Dr. Zhu is the founder of the International Journal of Underground Space, contributing significantly to the academic discourse in geotechnical engineering.
