Research interests

My research interests lie in the modelling of complex geotechnical infrastructure problems.

My current research focus can be summarised as follows:

• Schematisation and parameterisation of subsurface using AI
• Digital twins for infrastructure
• Modelling of railway track degradation
• Railway induced vibrations
• Soil cyclic behaviour
