A professional holds a PhD in Civil and Environmental Engineering (Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, 2010–2015, CGPA 3.63/4) and a B.Tech in Civil Engineering (Indian Institute of Technology Guwahati, 2006–2010, CGPA 8.28/10). Currently an Associate Professor at the Department of Civil and Smart Construction Engineering, Shantou University (China, 2017–present), they specialize in geotechnical/geo-environmental engineering (e.g., soil-plant interaction, biochar in unsaturated soil).
They have led 7+ funded projects (e.g., NSFC Youth Project, RGC-NSFC Joint Project) totaling over 1.2M RMB, published 60+ papers (29 in top geotechnical journals like Canadian Geotechnical Journal), and won awards including the ICE Telford Premium Prize. As an Associate Editor for 4+ SCI/Scopus journals, they organize international webinars (e.g., 1st Indo-China Geotechnical Webinar Series), supervise students (many admitted to HKUST, University of Macau), and coordinate academic exchanges (e.g., MOU between Shantou University and IIT Guwahati).
