Personal Statement
Dr. Guijie Sang joined the University of Liverpool as a Lecturer in 2024. Guijie worked as a postdoctoral research associate at the University of Strathclyde (Glasgow) for around 4 years after obtaining his PhD degree from Pennsylvania State University (USA) in 2020.

Guijie researches the interface between Geotechnical Engineering, Rock Mechanics, and Microbiology. His work focuses on developing sustainable and cost-effective biotechnologies to enhance the resilience of coastal, offshore, and geotechnical infrastructure.

Available PhD opportunities:

- Liverpool-CSC scholarship (for Chinese students)

- Commonwealth PhD scholarship (for students from commonwealth counties)


Available Postdoctoral opportunities:

-Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions Postdoctoral Fellowships

- The Royal Society Newton International Fellowships

Research Overview
Dr Guijie Sang investigates novel biocementation techniques for applications in geotechnical, coastal, offshore, and subsurface engineering. His research focuses on improving the hydromechanical properties of geomaterials (sediments, sands, and rocks), addressing challenges such as coastal erosion, offshore monopile scour, slope instability, and subsurface (wellbore and rock formation) leakage.
