My research interests include:
  • Geoenvironmental Engineering with emphasis on
    landfill engineering, evaluation of the static and
    dynamic properties of municipal solid waste,
    bioreactor landfills, post-closure development of
    landfills;
  • Soil dynamics and Geotechnical earthquake engineering
  • Characterization and investigation of the behavior
    of organic soils, stiff soils/soft rocks, and other non-
    textbook soil/rock materials;
  • Evaluation/Optimization of ground improvement
    techniques
  • Information technology management  in civil
    engineering;
  • History of engineering, particularly civil engineering
    and geotechnical engineering;

Prospective students who may be interested in research
opportunities under my supervision are encouraged to
contact me.
