Associate Professor at Sichuan University. Standing Committee Member of the Unsaturated & Special Soils Committee (CCES) and member of the Resilient Disaster Mitigation Committee (CGS). His research focuses on unsaturated soil mechanics, landslide mechanisms, consolidation theory, and intelligent geotechnical computing. He leads multiple NSFC projects, two national key R&D sub-projects, and two Sichuan international collaboration projects. Dr. Qi serves as an NSFC review expert and peer reviewer for Géotechnique, JGGE, the Canadian Geotechnical Journal, and other journals. He has published over 60 papers in top journals. He developed a series of large-deformation consolidation theories for unsaturated soils. His innovations have been recognized at Golder Associates, supporting tailings management, slope stability, and intelligent dam construction.
