Dr. Y. Yan joined the State Key Laboratory of Hydraulic Engineering Simulation and Safety in Tianjin University in 2015. Yue undertook her PhD research (Novel methods for characterizing pipeline interaction forces in situ in deep water) at the Centre for Offshore Foundation system and was awarded “Innovative industrial approach for novel toroid and ball penetrometer” by AGS (Australian Geomechanics Society). Her current research spans from offshore geotechnical engineering in shallow and deep water to novel geotextile material. Her work relates closely to both the oil and gas and the renewable energy industries.
