Thank you for sharing the news on our recent paper in Water Resources Research! It proposes a simple and efficient method to estimate a soil freezing characteristic curve based on pore images. The paper is open access and available at

Geomechanists from 🇰🇷🇮🇹🇯🇵 at #IWACOM-IV @MatteoCiantia @HashimotoGeo

Thrilled to join the Editorial Board of Computers and Geotechnics @ComGeotechnics, which has been a premier journal in computational geotechnical engineering for the past 40 years. I am grateful for this opportunity and hope it will help me contribute more to our research field.

Based on this work, @YidongZhao_01 won 1st place in the Poromechanics Student Paper Competition at the ASCE EMI 2023 Conference. The talk video is available from our group’s YouTube channel.

Check out our recent paper on circumventing volumetric locking in MPM, co-authored with @YidongZhao_01 and Chenfanfu Jiang at @UCLA. It presents a simple and efficient locking-mitigation approach that can be generally applied to all explicit MPM schemes. https://t.co/P6axYKEXxO

Thrilled to join the editorial board of the Journal of Elasticity: The Physical and Mathematical Science of Solids! I would like to encourage all colleagues to share their discoveries in elasticity and the broader physical and mathematical science of solids in this journal 😃

Made a 3-day visit to the Mechanics and Materials Unit (Head: Prof. Eilot Fried) at the Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology (OIST). It was a great pleasure experiencing such a nice environment!

My colleague Wolfgang Fellin makes his short & very insightful videos for teaching soil mechanics available under an open CC BY licence: https://t.co/gZRfBiSpBy I highly recommended them for educational purposes!

Hope to have you in Vancouver in Summer 2024!

#COMPLAS2023 was an exceptional conference for many reasons. I very much enjoyed catching up with colleagues in this wonderful conference. The gala dinner was phenomenal. Many thanks to the organizers!

Oops forgot tagging @dave_kammer. Hope our paths will cross again soon!

Very much enjoyed visiting ETH Zürich and meeting up with David Kammer and Johan Gaume @johan_gaume! Many thanks for your hospitality.

Excited to share our new paper published in @ComGeotechnics! Here we propose an approach that couples MPM with the level set method to efficiently simulate interactions between soft materials (e.g. soil) and stiff materials (e.g. structures, machines, rocks) with complex shapes.

Had the pleasure chatting with Prof. Eliot Fried

Just hired a 21yo for their first job. What basic professional advice do they need? Here's what I tell all my new staff, but perhaps you can add. I'll start small. 1/ Use an online calendar. Have a foolproof system of reminders, so you never forget a deadline or obligation.

Few things are better than chatting about geomechanics with Korean traditional liquor! @jnw_kim

Congratulations to Yidong Zhao, Mario de Lucio, and Divyanshu Lal for winning EMI 2023 Poromechanics award. We are proud of each one of you! Jinhyun Choo Purdue University Northwestern University Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology American… https://t.co/9lABoFDS40
