Qualifications:

Radu has 25 years experience in the area of computational and experimental soil mechanics (soil liquefaction, dynamic soil-structure interaction, design and verification of embankment dams, site characterization based on laboratory and in-situ soil tests, centrifuge modeling). In his research he uses the tools of probabilistic mechanics to address various uncertainties manifested in the geologic environment (e.g. stochastic variability of soil properties, natural hazards). Other areas of expertise include finite element methods, nonlinear constitutive theories and foundation engineering.
