Chunhui Chen is an Associate Professor at China University of Geosciences (Wuhan). He conducts research at the Badong National Observation and Research Station of Geohazards and the Engineering Research Center of Geohazards in the Three Gorges Reservoir Area, Ministry of Education. His research lies at the intersection of geotechnical engineering, geological hazard mitigation, and ecological restoration. His principal research interests include geohazard prevention and control, soil improvement, mine ecological restoration, and soil and water conservation. His work focuses particularly on root–soil interactions, the hydro-mechanical behavior of bio-based material-treated soils, ecological restoration of mine and engineering slopes, rainfall-induced erosion, and slope stabilization. He aims to clarify the coupled interactions among soil, water, vegetation, and functional materials, and to translate these findings into practical technologies for geohazard mitigation and ecological restoration. He has served as principal investigator for projects funded by the National Natural Science Foundation of China, the Natural Science Foundation of Hubei Province, and open research funds from key laboratories.
