BRIGHT SPARKS LECTURES - 3rd International Symposium on Machine Learning and Big Data in Geoscience and TC304 Workshop on Risk Assessment in Geoengineering, Wrocław, Poland
The YMPG in collaboration with the Organising Committee for the 3rd International Symposium on Machine Learning and Big Data in Geoscience and TC304 Workshop on Risk Assessment in Geoengineering, Wrocaw, Poland, would like to announce the winners of the Bright Spark Lecture Award to threr distinguished young geotechnical engineers/academics: Dongming Zhang. They were invited to give keynote lectures on 25-28 October 2021.
Dr Dongming Zhang, Professor, Tongji University, China
Bright Spark Lecture Title: "Recent Development of Deep Learning on Tunnel Construction and Maintenance"
The Bright Spark Lecture Award was established to promote young members of the ISSMGE to play a major role in various international and regional conferences. Recipients of this award are invited to give a keynote lecture at ISSMGE conferences. All Technical Committee conference organisers and Member Society conference organisers are encouraged to select Bright Spark Lecturers at their conferences. Details regarding the award can be found on the ISSMGE website: https://www.issmge.org/the-society/awards/bright-spark-lecture-award.
We invite everyone, especially young geotechnical engineers, to come and enjoy the lectures. We hope these lectures can inspire and motivate us further to excel in our beloved field, geotechnical engineering.
