Scientia Professor Nasser Khalili invited to address ICSMGE 2022
Congratulations to Scientia Professor Nasser Khalili, CIES Deputy Director and Head of UNSW Civil & Environmental Engineering, who has been invited to deliver a state-of-the-art lecture on unsaturated soils at the International Conference on Soil Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering.
The 20th International Conference on Soil Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering (ICSMGE) 2022 is being held from Sunday 1 May - Thursday 05 May 2022 at the International Convention Centre Sydney. It is being hosted by the Australian Geomechanics Society (AGS).
State of the Art Lecture: Unsaturated Soils will take place on Tuesday 2 May from 1.30 -2.30 AEST. https://www.icsmge2022.org/registration.php
Over the course of the Conference seven State of the Art Lectures will be delivered by fourteen global experts on topics including Biomediated-bioinspired Geotechnics, Earthquake Geotechnical Engineering, Energy, Environmental Geotechnics, Saturated Soils, Tailings Dams And Transportation Geotechnics.
Professor Khalili is credited with the development of the first thermodynamically consistent framework for constitutive modelling of unsaturated porous media. Similarly, his research into the mechanics of double porosity media has set an international benchmark in numerical modelling of fractured porous media.
His lecture partner at ICSMGE 2022 is Enrique Romero, Director of Research and Head of the Geotechnical Laboratory in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya (Spain).
The Conference has a Covid-era hybrid model – with in person attendance and live and recorded streaming of the lectures and presentations. The theme of ICSMGE 2022 is “A Geotechnical Discovery Downunder – Geotechnical Diversity Awaits You”. Discover Australia and discover the innovation that lies where practical problems meet leading theoretical developments.
ICSMGE 2022 will focus on the application of theory and the discovery that comes when world-class minds are focussed on the geotechnical problems facing our world. Conference program and technical sessions reflect this emphasis on applications, and are designed to trigger collaboration, innovation and discovery from a diverse group of participants.
