Research portfolio built around TBM intelligence

This site is designed as a premium publication portfolio with a cinematic tunnel control-room aesthetic. It keeps the academic content readable while giving the first impression of advanced engineering and applied AI.

Core theme

From machine logs to ground insight

The narrative connects TBM operational data, geotechnical interpretation, machine learning, and field-ready decision support.

Built for GitHub Pages

No terminal, no build step

All files are static. Upload them to the repository root and enable GitHub Pages from the main branch.

Research system

A connected pipeline for autonomous tunnelling research

Each block below can become a publication cluster, thesis chapter, or industry collaboration pitch.

Selected publications

Publication portfolio

Searchable cards with DOI links, research tags, and quick citation copying.

Code and prototypes

Research software and experiments

A curated GitHub-facing layer for TBM analytics, tunnelling AI, and engineering calculators.

Visual method

Ground + machine + intelligence

The design uses an engineering dashboard metaphor: sensor traces feed models, models produce lithology and wear insight, and the output supports more reliable TBM operation.
