Background

Dr Shukla is Associate Professor of Civil Engineering and the Program Leader of the Discipline of Civil Engineering. Prior to joining the Edith Cowan University, he has been Associate Professor of Civil Engineering at the Department of Civil Engineering, Indian Institute of Technology (BHU), Varanasi, India.

Sanjay has over twenty years’ teaching, research and consultancy experience in the field of Geotechnical Engineering, suchas Geosynthetic Engineering, Soil-Structure Interaction, Soil Mechanics and Foundation Engineering, Ground Improvement Methods, Soil Dynamics, Pavement Geotechnics, Engineering Geology, Rock Mechanics, and Mining Geotechnics. As a consulting geotechnical engineer, he has successfully provided solutions to the challenging field problems faced by many engineering organizations.

He collaborates with several world-class universities, research institutions, industries and individuals on academic and field projects. He has held a visiting appointment at the School of Engineering and Physical Sciences, James Cook University, Australia during 2008, where he taught geosynthetic engineering and rock mechanics, and he has been Adjunct Associate Professor there during 2008 - 2011. He has also held visiting appointments at the Department of Civil and Structural Engineering, the Hong Kong Polytechnic University, Hong Kong during 2002 to 2005.

Sanjay has a strong research profile. His research contributions include development of many new fundamental engineering concepts for applications in field projects covering civil engineering as well as interdisciplinary areas, such as mining and airport engineering. He is an author of 115 research papers and technical articles including 72 refereed journal publications. He is also an author of popular books and a reviewer of several international journals in the areas of geotechnical and geosynthetic engineering.
