报告人简介：

Professor Coop has over 30 years research experience, concentrating on the behaviour of soils and weak rocks as revealed through high quality laboratory testing. More recently his interests have turned towards the micro-mechanics of sand particles and their relationship to macroscopic behaviour. Following industrial experience in offshore foundations and his Doctorate on the behaviour of piles in clays at Oxford University under the supervision of C.P.Wroth he was instrumental in developing the soil element research laboratory at City University, London before moving to Imperial College in 2000, where he was promoted to Professor in 2007. In 2010 he moved to the City University of Hong Kong where he has established a laboratory specialising in soil element testing and the micro-mechanics of inter-particle contacts. His work has been awarded the British Geotechnical Society Prize in 1989 1999 and 2015, the UK Institution of Civil Engineers Geotechnical Research Medal in 1990 and 2008, a Telford Premium in 2002 and the George Stephenson Medal in 2005, both also from the ICE and a Ronbun Show of the Japanese Geotechnical Society in 2012. In 2003 he delivered the Geotechnique Lecture. He has supervised 19 completed PhDs, has examined about 30 PhDs internationally and is currently a member of the UK EPSRC Peer Review College. He has been on the editorial boards of seven international journals, four technical committees of the ISSMGE and was the founding editor of Geotechnique Letters from 2010-2013, establishing it as a leading international journal.
