His main area of research is numerical modelling of multi-phase porous media. He has developed a Meshfree based computer program (in FORTRAN) for the coupled analysis of flow and deformation in unsaturated soils including large deformations and hydraulic hysteresis. The formulation and the program he has developed can be used for modelling existing Geotechnical structures like earth dams and natural/manmade slopes. His other research concerns dynamics and micro-mechanics of unsaturated soils, and characterisation of soil water retention curve (SWRC) in deformable soils.

His areas of interest include the following research topics:

  • Mechanics of porous media - unsaturated soils in particular
  • Application of numerical methods (meshfree methods in particular) to model geotechnical engineering problems
  • Investigation of the Soil Water Retention Curves (SWRC)
  • Inclusion of effects of large deformation in numerical modelling of geotechnical (coupled) problems
  • Large deformation modeling of slope failures
  • Soil behavior under dynamic loading
