Biography

Arianna Pagano is a Lecturer in Geotechnical Engineering at the James Watt School of Engineering, University of Glasgow, since October 2022. She is part of the Division of Infrastructure and Environment and a member of the Glasgow Computational Engineering Centre (GCEC). Dr. Pagano earned her PhD in Geotechnical Engineering from the University of Strathclyde in Glasgow, where her research focused on the particle-scale mechanisms controlling the response of granular clayey geomaterials at small strains. Her academic background includes a Master's degree and Bachelor's degree in Civil and Environmental Engineering from the University of Naples "Federico II" in Italy. Pagano previously held several research positions at the University of Strathclyde, including a Postdoctoral Research Associate on projects related to nuclear decommissioning and bio-grouting technologies. Her research interests center on numerical experimental geomechanics, emphasizing the connection between macroscopic behavior of soils and underlying particle-scale processes, with applications in environmental loading scenarios and the development of innovative grouting technologies.
