Profiel
Profile summary
I am Assistant Professor of Multiphysics Geomechanics in the section of Geo-Engineering. My research focuses on assessing the impact of mechanical and environmental loads on the behaviour of geomaterials. I combine experimental testing, imaging and numerical modelling to develop fundamental understanding of the impact of multi-physics processes in geomaterials and propose solutions for safe, efficient and resilient geotechnical structures.
Expertise
- Geological disposal of radioactive waste
- Multiphysical (bio-chemo-thermo-hydro-mechanical) and multiscale processes in geomaterials
- Transfer of water and gas in porous media
- Behaviour of (expansive) clays
- Nature-inspired solutions for soil stabilisatio
