Welcome to my homepage!

I am Jidu Yu (Chinese: 于际都) and I was born and raised in XuZhou, a historical and cultural city in China.

I obtained my PhD degree in Civil Engineering from the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST) in 2025, and B.Eng and M.Eng degrees in Hydraulic Engineering from Hohai University (HHU) in 2018 and 2021, respectively. Now, I am a postdoctoral researcher at HKUST, supervised by Prof Zhao Jidong.

My current research interest focuses on:

• Particle or mesh-free methods, and hybrid methods, e.g., MPM, DEM, MPM-DEM, MPM-FVM.
• Multiphysics modelling of multiphase granular soils, particularly for frozen soils and hydrate soils.
• Climate-driven geohazards, e.g., rainfall-induced landslides, permafrost thaw-related problems.
