Prof. Mingjing Jiang is the Professor of Exceptional Rank of Civil Engineering at Tianjin University, and the Vice President of ISSMGE Technical Committee 105 (Geomechanics from Micro to Macro). Prof. Jiang received his Ph.D degree in Nanjing Hydraulic Research Institute in 1996. Before he joined Tianjin University in 2018, Prof. Jiang was full professor since 2006 and then Professor of Exceptional Rank at Tongji University, and worked as research fellow in Geo-research Institute and Kyoto University, Japan from 1998 to 2000, and as a postdoctoral fellow in Laval University, University of Manchester, and University of Nottingham from 2000 to 2006

Prof. Jiang’s main research interest lies in geomechanics from micro to macro for problematic geomaterials (e.g., structural sands, loess, soft soils, methane hydrate bearing sediments, lunar soils, soft rocks), and DEM application to geo-engineering. In particular, Prof. Jiang is interested in numerical and physical modeling of geotechnical problems related to space exploration
