Prof. Su-Won Son is a professor in the Department of Architectural and Civil Engineering at Kyungil University, Republic of Korea. His research focuses on geotechnical engineering and geotechnical hazards, including soil dynamics, liquefaction and seismic performance evaluation, ground improvement, slope stability, and soil–structure interaction. His research combines laboratory and model testing with numerical analysis to investigate the mechanisms of geotechnical hazards and to develop technologies for improving the safety and resilience of geotechnical structures. His recent research interests also include eco-friendly ground improvement, smart monitoring, digital-based geotechnical hazard prediction, and climate change-induced multi-hazard mitigation.
