RESEARCH INTERESTS

Dr Deng is persistently interested in the research and education of geotechnical earthquake engineering covering the fields of,
  • Dynamic soil-structure interaction
  • Pile foundations
  • Dynamic soil properties
  • Permafrost engineering
  • Ground improvement
For undergraduate students who would like to conduct a summer research project at UAlberta, follow the MITACT - GlobalLink Program and search for my projects or any other projects interesting to you.

For students who would like to pursue graduate studies with me, please contact me directly.
