Hello visitors,

Welcome to my webpage. I am a computational geomechanics researcher. I love to understand soil behavior from a mechanics point of view, model the soil using numerical tools, and implement computational geomechanics to solve practical geotechnical structure problems. I am currently working as a Postdoc Fellow at the City University of Hong Kong in Prof. Wang Yu’s Lab. My current research at CityU is focused on the development of an RMPM (Reliability-based Material point method) framework by using advanced constitutive models of clays and sands in the material point method (MPM) to study post-failure and large deformation behavior of landslide considering the spatial variability of soil properties. I have added a user-defined Modified Cam Clay (MCC) and Norsand model to the open-source MPM framework MPM3DF90 by using an auto-corrected sub-stepping algorithm FORTRAN code. I have modeled spatial variability associated with soil properties by using Monte Carlo simulation and studied its effect on post-failure landslide behavior for both drained and undrained loading conditions. I am an experienced researcher in the field of advanced numerical modeling of soil using FEM, MPM, and meshless numerical methods, advanced constitutive modeling, and soil-structure interaction modeling. I am highly skilled in programming languages, like, C++, Fortran, Python, and, MATLAB. I have completed my Ph.D. on "Novel numerical procedures for limit analysis: Implementation to planner, axisymmetric and three-dimensional geomechanics problems" from the Department of Civil Engineering, Indian Institute of Science Bangalore (India) in June 2020. I love to code and do research. I am highly motivated to do high quality research in the field of advanced computational geomechanics.
