About

Driven and dedicated geotechnical engineering professional pursuing a Ph.D. in the Geotechnical Department at the University of Texas at Austin. With a passion for understanding soil mechanics and its applications in infrastructure development, I am committed to advancing the field through innovative research and practical solutions.

During my academic journey, I have gained valuable experience in conducting geotechnical investigations, analyzing soil behavior, and designing foundations. My research focuses on exploring sustainable and resilient geotechnical practices and employing such practices for environmental remediation applications.

Through my involvement in various research projects, I have developed strong skills in geotechnical modeling, data analysis, and numerical simulations. I have also collaborated with industry professionals and actively participated in conferences and seminars to stay updated with the latest advancements in the field.
