He serves as an executive director of the Henan Provincial Agricultural Engineering Society and as a council member of the Henan Provincial Geographical Society. Since joining Henan University in 2015, he has published more than ten high-quality SCI papers as the first or corresponding author and has led the completion of a project funded by the National Natural Science Foundation of China.

Senior Engineer Wanli Guo

Nanjing Hydraulic Research Institute, China

Wanli Guo, male, born in July 1990, Ph.D., senior engineer. In 2020, he was selected for the China Association for Science and Technology’s "Youth Talent Support Program" (6th cohort). In 2024, he was included in Jiangsu Province’s "333 Project" high-level talent training program and ranked among the top 1% highly cited scholars in China by CNKI. He also serves as a member of the Youth Working Committee of the Chinese Hydraulic Engineering Society, a member of the Multiphysics Coupling Committee of Geotechnical Bodies under the Chinese Society for Rock Mechanics and Engineering, a member of the Geotechnical Mechanics Committee of the Jiangsu Mechanics Society, and a young editorial board member for the journals Rock Mechanics Bulletin and Journal of Intelligent Construction.

His main research focuses on rockfill particle breakage and constitutive modeling, geotechnical engineering machine learning, numerical analysis, and safety assessment and resilience enhancement of reservoir dams. He has led eight projects, including General and Youth Programs funded by the National Natural Science Foundation of China, as well as Special and First-class General Grants from the China Postdoctoral Science Foundation. He has published over 70 academic papers, including 41 SCI/EI papers as first or corresponding author, been granted 28 national invention patents, authored 4 academic monographs, and contributed to 2 group standards. He proposed a particle breakage evolution model and a third-order state-dependent constitutive model for rockfill materials in dam construction, and established an evaluation index system and method for deformation coordination of earth-rock dams, providing key scientific and technological support for coordinated control of dam deformation.

His research achievements have received 10 provincial, ministerial, and industry-level science and technology awards, including three provincial science and technology progress awards from the governments of Xinjiang, Fujian, and Henan. He has also won seven industry science and technology awards, such as the First Prize of Scientific and Technological Progress from the China Hydropower Engineering Society (ranked second), the Dayu Innovation Team Award, and the Special Prize for Scientific and Technological Progress from the China Dam Engineering Society.
