Salam 1Malaysia,

I work at the National University of Malaysia (UKM). Below are courses conducted by me at UKM.

(i) undergraduate  

Computer Programming (MATLAB)
Principles of Geotechnical Engineering
Foundation Engineering
 




(ii) postgraduate  
 

Slopes and Retaining Structures


(iii) researchers and others
 (short course)

Based on my experience in research and teaching, I take the initiative to offer short courses to researchers under my supervision and extend them to others so that we can learn and share the knowledge. By attending these courses, participants can save weeks of working hours that they need to learn by themselves.
 






Besides teaching, I conducts these research projects:


Hybrid Neuro-Fuzzy System for Prediction of Earthquake Effect on Retaining Structures GUP
Shear Strength of GCL (Geosynthetic Clay Liner) FRGS
Earthquake Effect on Geosynthetic Reinforced Retaining Structures GUP
Development of Earthquake Base Isolators ERGS


Some of researchers who are working in these areas. They work towards MSc and PhD degree.
 


PhD student from Sudan. He predicts the stability of slopes using AI methods.
 


 Master students who (1) used GeoStudio to predict the stability of slope due to earthquake,
(2) worked on the stability of earth dam also due to earthquake (graduated in 2011) and
(3) analyzed the performance of GCLs for landfill.
 


PhD student who's working on earthquake base isolator.
 


PhD student who's studying the effect of earthquake on the stability of reinforced earth structure.
 


PhD student from Iraq who's doing research on soil improvement using
stone column for earth embankment.
