Dr. Xueyan Liu

Biography

Dr. Liu is currently an Associate Professor in the section of Pavement Engineering of the Faculty of Civil Engineering & Geosciences of TU Delft. In 1996, Dr. Liu was a visiting scholar at Engineering Geology Group, Faculty of Applied Earth Sciences, Delft University of Technology, The Netherlands. In 1997 he joined the group of Mechanics of Structural Systems, Faculty of Civil Engineering & Geosciences of TU Delft as a PhD candidate. In 2003, he was Researcher of Program of Mechanics of Structural Systems. He was appointed as Senior Researcher of Pavement Engineering Section in 2006 and as Associate Professor in 2019. He works in the areas of constitutive modelling, numerical modelling and material experimental characterization. Within the research program of the Section Pavement Engineering, his research topics mostly relate to the development and implementation of constitutive models for the simulation of the static and dynamic response of various pavement engineering materials like soils, asphalt concrete, liner and reinforcing systems etc. and sustainable development technologies, i.e., multiscale modelling of asphaltic materials, warm/cold asphalt concrete technology, durability of asphalt surfacings on orthotropic steel deck bridge, accelerated pavement test, pavement continuous monitoring and sustainable development technologies. Dr. Liu was granted his doctoral thesis in 2003. During the same period, Dr. Liu participated also in the team that developed the ACRe model for Asphalt Concrete Response currently implemented in 3D Computer Aided Pavement Analysis system (CAPA-3D). Dr. Liu has published more than 100 technical and journal papers on the mechanics and the finite element modelling of granular, concrete and asphaltic materials. Dr. Liu is a member of RILEM Technical Committee of Cracking in Asphalt Pavements WG3 and a member of Delft Centre for Materials (DCMat). He is also a member of ISAP, AAPT and IACMAG. Dr. Liu was an Editorial Board Member of Geomaterials (GM). He was invited as Guest Editors of Special Issues for several International Journals. He was also actively involved in organizing inter/national workshops and conferences and was invited as Scientific/Technical committee member in several international conferences.
