Dr Ying Da Wang

I am a Senior Lecturer in the School of Minerals and Energy Resources Engineering at UNSW Sydney, working across high performance computing, deep learning, and fluid, particle and continuum mechanics. My current research focuses on solid mechanics in the context of mining applications, using large-scale GPU simulation to model the deformation and failure of rock masses, and on agentic workflows, where AI agents set up, run and check engineering simulations and analyses. This builds on earlier work developing deep learning and computationally efficient flow simulation methods for X-ray micro-computed tomography (micro-CT) imaging of rocks and other porous materials.

PhD opportunities

I am looking for PhD candidates to work in these areas, particularly those with strong programming skills and an interest in computational mechanics or AI-driven engineering workflows. Please email me a short cover letter outlining your research interests, together with your CV and academic transcripts.
