My name is Fei Tao, I am currently a Ph.D. student in Aeronautics and Aerospace Engineering department at Purdue University under the supervision of Prof. Yu. I got my master degree from Civil Engineering (Geotech discipline) at Purdue University. My master research focused on the analytical analysis of temperature effect on the lined circular tunnel in the anisotropic ground. My current research interest focuses on the multiscale modeling and fracture mechanics.
