Xiaocheng is a Project Consultant with a Bachelor of Engineering and a Master of Engineering, within which he has chosen to concentrate on underground engineering and tunnel engineering respectively. Xiaocheng completed his PhD at the University of Queensland in 2023, with a thesis focused on modelling groundwater and solute transport in salt flats and coastal marshes.

Joining AGE in 2023, Xiaocheng enjoys the challenge of constructing complex models that represent the behaviour of groundwater systems. He also finds satisfaction in using his expertise to help solve real-world problems. Outside of work, Xiaocheng is a keen cyclist and plays the odd game of badminton.

His favourite saying is: “Don’t stumble over something behind you.”
