Hang. Lin Place of birth: Fuzhou, Fujian Province, China Date of birth: 1980.10.02 The author’s educational background: B.Sc., Civil Engineering, Central South University, Changsha, Hunan Province, China, 2003 M.S., Geotechnical Engineering, Central South University, Changsha, Hunan Province, China, 2006 Ph.D., Geotechnical Engineering, Central South University, Changsha, Hunan Province, China, 2009 The author’s major field of study: Geomechanics. Numerical simulation. Soil mechanics and foundation engineering. Finite element software development. Slope stability analysis Military and work experience He is Lecture of Geotechnical Engineering at Central South University in China. He obtained a doctorate degree in Geotechnical engineering from the Central South University in 2009. Prior to joining Central South University in 2010, he worked as a visiting scholar at Colorado School of Mines for one year under the supervision of Prof D.V. Griffiths. He has been working on three dimensional modelling for problems in Geotechnical Engineering, such as slope stabilty, tunnel excavation, rock mechanics, foundation damage, etc. His primary research interests are to find ways to model the geotechnical problem in microscopic view. Finally, Dr. Lin is a member of the IACSIT (INTERNATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF COMPUTER SCIENCE AND INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY).
