My career focuses on advancing resilient infrastructure through biogeotechnics. My research has been recognized for its groundbreaking contributions to the biogeotechnics field through societal awards and invited talks. I am a leader in research investigating microbial induced carbonate precipitation (MICP) for infrastructure applications, including those subjected to natural hazards (earthquake-induced liquefaction, and coastal/offshore erosion). I have extended my research to address anthropogenic hazards (stabilizing tailings and inducing carbon sequestration).
