The research group’s interest includes understanding the complete response of geosystems and making improvements in their design to make them more feasible, economical, resilient, and sustainable: which involves carrying out multiscale experiments to understand the mechanisms, developing validated computational tools, developing simplified procedures to translate research to practice, and finally development of sensing technologies for performance monitoring, anomaly detection, and development of early warning systems. The efforts are focused on “Smart Geotechnics,” where innovative design, sensing technologies, and computational tools are integrated to enhance the geosystem’s design and performance, making it more informed, feasible, economical, resilient, and sustainable.
We are always looking for motivated and talented researchers—including Postdoctoral Scholars, Doctoral and master’s students, B. Tech graduates, and research interns—to join us in exploring challenging and impactful research topics. Our program values individuals with strong academic calibre, intellectual curiosity, and a passion for pushing boundaries in advancing knowledge and innovation.
Current areas of focus include:
- Soil anchor systems
- Liquefaction and soil dynamics
- Energy geotechnics and its applications
- Instrumentation and sensing technologies
- Artificial intelligence in geotechnical engineering
- Numerical modelling and analysis
