Professor of Geoenvironmental Engineering and Head of Department of Civil Engineering (ACE). My research activities initially focused on the area of coupled flow and deformation behaviour in soils and have developed to encompass a number of areas in the subject of geoenvironmental and geotechnical engineering including ground energy, thermal fluxes and inter-seasonal heat storage, in-situ resource recovery from geological repositories and behaviour of modified soils. Work in these areas, supported by RCUK and industrial funding has developed a number of specific analytical and numerical models alongside an improved understanding of fundamental processes.

I am interesting in supervising PhDs involving the following areas:

Modelling coupled processes in geoenvironmental and geotechnical engineering systems including:
- Ground energy
- Barrier systems
- Geological repositories
- Behaviour of modified soils.
- Unsaturated soil behaviour.
- Thermo-hydro-mechanical behaviour of porous materials.
- Freeze-thaw behaviour of soil.

Even if your idea is not precidely aligned to these areas - please get in touch - it may still be something I can supervise (or co-supervise with a colleague).
