Chair of Geomechanics and Geosystems Engineering
We strive towards understanding and mitigating the risks associated with natural hazards, including landslides, tsunamis, snow avalanches, and earthquakes.
Our research group specializes in advancing the boundaries of geotechnical monitoring by utilizing state-of-the-art sensor technologies.
We apply and evaluate a range of numerical, experimental and monitoring methods to assess the structural health of transportation infrastructure.
Geotechnical failures and environmental pollution are often interrelated, creating a special type of hazards which requires a pro-active multidisciplinary approach.
Our group is part of the Institute for Geotechnical Engineering (IGT)
We are engaged in teaching, research and consulting in the fields of geotechnical engineering, geo-eco-hazards, geotechnical sensor technologies and transportational geotechnics.
