Biography

Dr. Arman Khoshghalb is a Senior Lecturer in Geotechnical Engineering in the School of Civil and Environmental Engineering at UNSW Sydney. He joined the academic staff in 2012. His main research areas include numerical modeling of multi-phase porous media, particularly focusing on the dynamics and micro-mechanics of unsaturated soils. His work involves characterizing soil water retention curves and investigating large deformation modeling of geotechnical engineering problems, including slope failures and soil behavior under dynamic loading. He has developed a meshfree based computer program for the coupled analysis of flow and deformation in unsaturated soils under large deformations. Dr. Khoshghalb has also supervised several PhD students and has been involved in various research projects funded by the Australian Research Council, investigating different aspects of soil behavior, constitutive modeling, and soil-structure interactions in the context of earthquake engineering. He teaches courses on Fundamentals of Geomechanics and Soil Mechanics at both undergraduate and postgraduate levels.
