I am a Senior Lecturer in the School of Civil and Environmental Engineering at the University of Technology Sydney. My key areas of expertise include rail transportation geotechnics, ground improvement, soil dynamics and earthquake engineering, constitutive and numerical modeling. I have been involved in a number of contract research, testing and consultancy projects in Australia and India.

I am proudly associated in a collaborative project led by UTS in partnership with IIT Kharagpur on "Heavy-haul Indian Railway: Towards Safe, Efficient and Sustainable Design" supported by the Australia-India Council grant 2020-21 | Australian Government Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (dfat.gov.au).
