Staff Profile

I am an Associate Professor in the School of Engineering, specializing in Geotechnical Engineering. I earned my PhD in Geotechnical Engineering from City, University of London, and completed my MSc in Geotechnical Engineering at Newcastle University. After obtaining my doctorate, I joined the University of Leeds as a Post-doctoral Research Fellow, focusing on the tribology of particulate solids.

My current research centers on investigating interfacial processes at particle-to-particle and particle-to-structure contacts using multiscale modeling and image-based characterization techniques. I am dedicated to advancing fundamental engineering research and teaching. I am a Fellow of the Higher Education Academy (FHEA) and have been actively involved in teaching since 2015.
