Summary

 

Overview

Dr Cao's research interests are in the areas of:

  • Coupled thermo-hydro-mechanical behaviour of fractured rocks;
  • Characterisation and modelling of subsurface discrete fracture network;
  • Monitoring, modelling and evaluation of injection/extraction and mining/excavation-induced seismicity;
  • Machine learning applications in geo-energy deployment and mineral resources evaluation;
  • Dynamic rock failure and fracture and wave propagation in rocks;
  • Experiments and modelling on engineering unloading disturbances;
  • Geostatistical modelling and simulation of geological systems.
