BIO

I am a PhD student in Geotechnical Engineering at Deakin University. My research explores how fire alters soil properties such as stress history and shear behavior and aims to find solutions for wildfire induced landslides. I have prior experience in laboratory testing of saturated and unsaturated soils, numerical modeling and constitutive modeling. My research interests are in soil behavior under extreme conditions and natural hazard mitigation.
