Background

I graduated from University of Strathclyde, Glasgow in year 2016 and joined UKM as a University Lecturer soon after. My field research area focuses on soil, especially problematic soils. I am particularly interested with desiccated crack behavior of soils and is now investigating its influence towards Geohazard initiation.

Direct shear box for stress relaxation

Analog model of spring and dashpot configuration

Similar model successfully inferred stress relaxation into creep response for landslide evaluation
