Wenjun Hua

I am a Ph.D. student in the Division of Soil and Rock Mechanics at KTH Royal Institute of Technology, advised by Dr. Carl Wersäll and Prof. Stefan Larsson.

My research interests lie in the laboratory testing and mesostructure characterization of road and railway geomaterials, computational granular mechanics, and the application of AI in geotechnical engineering. I am currently working with Dynapac Compaction Equipment AB on the project "Developed compaction control for future quality assurance", focusing on intelligent compaction and dynamic roller-soil interaction.

Prior to joining KTH, I received my B.Sc. and M.Sc. degrees in Engineering Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering from Central South University in 2020 and 2023, respectively. During my master's, I primarily worked on peridynamic modeling of fracture behaviors in cement-treated recycled aggregates, and my thesis was awarded as the Outstanding Master's Thesis of Hunan Province in 2025.

Since 2024, I have served as a teaching assistant for Finite Element Methods in Analysis and Design (AF2024) and Geotechnical Engineering, Advanced Course (AF2611). I am also an active member of ISSMGE TC202 (Transportation Geotechnics) and SGF.
