At AutoGeo Lab, we aim to build a unique culture where researchers and industry partners work together to identify the most important problems, and design rigorous solutions that make a real impact. If you have a potential research topic or industry-facing problem, please get in touch and we can discuss potential pathways of collaboration that work best for you.
We are disciplined risk-takers willing to push boundaries within the field of geotechnical engineering. We are always looking for talented students to join our growing team and help accelerate our journey to create next-generation solutions that bring together ideas and tools from different scientific disciplines. If you are a UK student who is interested in joining the lab, please get in touch with your research interests, so that we can discuss more about your funding eligibility for internal PhD funding opportunities. Alternatively, there are also external PhD funding opportunities as follows:
We are firm believers of collaboration and we welcome academic visitors or collaborators who are interested in working with us. If you are a researcher who is interested in collaborating or visiting the lab, please get in touch.
