Prof. Hadi Khabbaz has conducted original research in ground modification, unsaturated soil mechanics, tunnelling and transport geotechnics. He has been involved in design of civil infrastructure and soil behaviour modelling research for over 20 years. His research has been focused on the theoretical and numerical analysis of problematic soils, underground spaces, granular particles and unsaturated porous media with strong applications to real life engineering problems. He has made several significant contributions in the field of unsaturated soil mechanics and ground improvement techniques with fundamental and pioneering nature. His early work on unsaturated soil mechanics has been increasingly cited in literature and considered as a significant contribution to the field. He has sound numerical, experimental and programming skills. His research output and publications on geotechnical aspects of rail track foundations overlying soft soil is also extensive. To date, 17 research students completed their theses under his supervision and he has 16 completions as a cosupervisor. At present, he is the principal supervisor of 5 research students. He is an active assessor of the ARC and the Office for Learning and Teaching (OLT) grants. He is a technical reviewer of many international journals and several research organisations.



Dr. Cholachat Rujikiatkamjorn is a Professor at the Transport Research Centre, School of Civil, and Environmental Engineering, Faculty of Engineeering and Information Sciences, University of Technology Sydney, Australia. His key areas of expertise include ground improvement for transport infrastructure and soft soil engineering. He has published over 270 articles in international journals and conferences. While maintaining a strong focus on quality teaching, to date, he has secured over $2 million in research funding, mostly from external sources. He is currently a CI of one ARC-DP project, 3 ARC-LP projects, an ITTC Rail and a
