Bridging geotechnical engineering, computational modelling and infrastructure risk.
Dr Xuanchi “Tom” Liu is a Melbourne-based geotechnical / tailings engineer and researcher. His technical core is geotechnical and tailings engineering underpinned by PhD-level numerical modelling — finite element analysis, porous media and mechanics-based engineering judgement developed through doctoral and postdoctoral research at the University of Melbourne, where he remains an Honorary Fellow. Around that core, he draws on structural engineering training, published biomedical modelling research, programming and financial analysis to bring a broader perspective to infrastructure decisions.
Technical Core
Geotechnical and tailings engineering, supported by research-grade numerical modelling — the two capabilities at the centre of his consulting practice.
Geotechnical & Tailings Engineering
Numerical Modelling & Advanced Analysis
Supporting Strengths
Capabilities from research, structural engineering, programming and commercial analysis that extend and inform the technical core.
