  1. Personal Statement

 

I am a researcher, with a passion for advancing sustainable and providing innovative solutions for improving Civil and Geotechnical Engineering Materials. Through my research activities, I have contributed to the field of Civil Engineering by developing earth pressure envelopes that can be used to estimate earth pressure on excavation walls in rock masses. I have also contributed to the development of local materials that can be used to improve the properties of soils and concrete with a view to cutting cost of construction together with recycling and reusing of industrial and agro-wastes.
