O autorze

Dr Rao Martand Singh is a Lecturer of Geotechnical Engineering in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, University of Surrey, United Kingdom. Applying Geotechnical Engineering knowledge for solving problems relating to energy and environment is his passion. Previously he worked as a Research Fellow on geothermal energy pile foundation project at Monash University in Australia. He obtained his PhD from Geoenvironmental Research Centre, Cardiff University, MTech from IIT Delhi and BEng from MBM Jodhpur. His research interests include Geothermal energy pile foundation, soil-structure interaction, coal seam gas (CSG), wind farm collector system, gas/liquid permeability characteristic of cement bentonite used in cut-off walls and borehole walls, unsaturated geosynthetic clay liner (GCL), barrier design for nuclear waste, suction measurement techniques, thermo-hydro-mechanical (THM) behaviour of soils and geosynthetics and modification of bentonite to improve its retention capacity. He has several publications in peer-reviewed international and national journals.
