Graduate Research Assistant
Louisiana State University
- Conducted experimental research on offshore and coastal sediments to evaluate strength, consolidation, and erosion behavior.
- Collected and analyzed sediment cores from dredge pits and wetlands to determine geotechnical and geo-chemical properties.
- Developed and applied a settling column test with image analysis to assess hindered settling and flocculation in fine-grained sediments.
- Applied numerical modeling (e.g., MODFLOW, FLAC, PLAXIS, Slide2) for reliability analysis of levee relief wells and slope stability back-analyses.
- Led offshore and wetland field campaigns to collect sediment cores and perform cone penetration tests (CPT).
- Analyzed experimental and field data to quantify geotechnical properties, develop soil behavior models, and validate numerical simulations.
