Research
My Research Interests mainly deal with:
- Multi-phase processes in soils, such as freezing and thawing (in particular applied to the artificial ground freezing technique for tunnel excavation support), evaporation and transport of diluted species
- Micro-mechanics of granular soils, especially related to the phenomenon of Grain Crushing
- Morphology characterisation of grains and rock discontinuities by the fractal analysis approach.
