      Urop (undergraduate research opportunity programme) researcher

      Supervisor: Prof. Jamie StandingFunding: Faculty of Engineering UROP AwardResearch title: Effects of Tunnelling on Existing TunnelsThis research involved performing laboratory tests on London Clay samples from St John’s Wood, London. During the project, Jamie and I performed a subsurface survey at St James’s Park. The main outcome of this research was the elaboration of an improved laboratory manual for finding the specific gravity of London Clay.

      Supervisor and funding: Prof. Chris SwanResearch title: Improved Predictions of Wave Kinematics in Nonlinear WavesThis research involved the numerical modelling of focused waves using the boundary element method. The performed computational study resulted in improved predictions to wave profiles and wave kinematics. Supervisor: Dr. David TabordaFunding: BP UROP AwardResearch title: Design and Modelling of Ground Source Energy SystemsThis research involved the numerical modelling of the effects of heat sources in the ground, as well as a study on water pipe-soil thermal interaction, using the Imperial College Finite Element Program (ICFEP) software, which has been developed at the Geotechnics Section for over 40 years.
