Dr Arash Azizi he/him

I am a Lecturer in Geotechnics for Sustainable and Resilient Infrastructure at the James Watt School of Engineering, University of Glasgow.

My research focuses on the laboratory testing and modelling of the hydro-mechanical behaviour of soils under complex loading conditions, particularly those influenced by environmental or climatic factors. The aim is to improve understanding of real-world loading scenarios, including the effects of climate change on the long-term resilience of geotechnical infrastructure, and to develop sustainable strategies for mitigating associated risks. This work spans several key areas, including advanced laboratory testing of saturated and unsaturated soils, microstructure-informed modelling of soil hydro-mechanical responses, and field monitoring of soil–climate interactions.

I am actively involved in supervising researchers at the University of Glasgow and in collaboration with other institutions. The students I work with bring diverse academic and cultural perspectives, and I strongly value this multidisciplinary environment. We are always open to connecting with prospective researchers and collaborators from a broad spectrum of fields, including various branches of engineering as well as related disciplines such as earth and climate sciences.
