Short Bio and Research Directions:
Currently working as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Civil Engineering at Fiji National University, Republic of Fiji and actively involved in Teaching, Research and other departmental activities, including organising/conducting Conferences and Short Term Training Programs (STTP). I worked as a Postdoctoral Research Associate (Sept 2019 to Aug 2020) at Shantou University, China, and as a Visiting Research Fellow at Nanjing University, China (Dec 2019 to Feb 2020).
​
My current research interests fall into broad categories of geotechnical and geoenvironmental engineering. I have plans to conduct research in several directions (i) beneficial utilization of industrial waste in geotechnical and environmental applications, (ii) investigate the use of sustainable materials for remediation of problematic soils, polluted sites, and industrial by-products, and (iii) investigate the use of biopolymers and biochar for low cost and high-performance composite landfill liners.
