I am a Professor in the department of civil engineering at IIT Bombay and I teach and research in the area of geotechnical engineering. I am an experimentalist with expertise in centrifuge modelling. I do have special liking for numerical methods to solve complex problems. Of lately, my research group has started the use of DEM tools for the study of jointed rock and granular material behaviour. Please visit my students' page under Research Guidance, which will give you a glimpse of the areas I work.
I am Editorial Board Member of: (i) Journal of Earthquake and Tsunami, and (ii) ICE’s Geotechnical Research. I am also a nominated member of TC104 (Physical modelling in geotechnics) and TC204 (Underground construction). I have organised a number training programmes and workshops at the institute and have been instructor of in-house training programmes on core subjects.
I have served as a consultant to agencies such as Indian Railways, NHSRCL, NPCIL, Mumbai Metro and Nagpur Metro, BMC, Samsung Engineering, Jan De Nul and John Deer. The project for Konkan Railways resulted in me being awarded the 2014 IIT Bombay Industrial Impact Award.
I have been teaching core subjects in geotechnical engineering at undergraduate level, and on constitutive models and ground improvement at postgraduate level. Some of my courses have been transmitted live through ISRO's satellite to remote centres and other engineering colleges across the country.
I have received the Institute Excellence in Teaching award twice; the first time in 2012 and the second time in 2016, besides a few best paper awards by IGS and other geotechnical agencies.
