About Me
I am a geotechnical engineer and researcher with a passion for solving complex problems in soil mechanics and offshore foundation engineering. My academic journey has taken me across some of the world's leading institutions, including postdoctoral research positions at TU Delft (Netherlands), Aalto University (Finland), and City University of Hong Kong.
My research focuses on advanced numerical methods, large deformation analysis, constitutive modelling, centrifuge modeling, and soil–structure interaction under extreme loading conditions. With a strong foundation in computational geomechanics and a deep curiosity for the mechanics of geomaterials, I aim to bridge the gap between theoretical research and practical engineering solutions in the offshore, earthquake, and environmental geotechnical domains.
