Parra Gomez, L.J.

Profile

Luis José Parra Gómez is a PhD student in Experimental Soil Mechanics in the section of Geo-Engineering at Delft University of Technology. He obtained his bachelor’s as a civil engineer and master’s in geotechnical engineering at the Universidad Nacional de Colombia. His research interests include soil exploration and laboratory testing, constitutive and numerical modelling, reliability-based foundation design and the application of statistics and machine learning in geotechnical engineering.

Research

Luis José’s research focuses on the understanding and modelling of the physical processes that affect organic soils under changing climate conditions. This is pursued by considering the complex interactions occurring in the fabric of the soils understood as a multiphase system and making use of innovative laboratory testing and numerical modelling to interpret complex data and account for its uncertainties within a statistical framework.
