My research bridges computational geotechnics, landslide risk assessment, and applied construction technology to solve real-world engineering challenges.
My research integrates numerical modelling with physical testing — combining Advanced Triaxial Testing with Finite Element Modelling to understand and predict soil behaviour under complex loading conditions.
I am committed to both academic rigour and industry relevance, ensuring that my work addresses practical challenges in civil engineering while advancing fundamental understanding. My research is inherently interdisciplinary, spanning geotechnical engineering, materials science, hydrology, and construction technology.
This breadth allows me to approach problems from multiple angles — whether assessing landslide risk for transport networks, developing novel binders for ground improvement, or evaluating digital transformation in construction.
