Christopher Beckett is a Senior Lecturer and Discipline Programme Manager at the School of Engineering, University of Edinburgh, where he has been a faculty member since early 2017. His research work primarily focuses on advanced geotechnical structural characterization of stabilized and unstabilized unsaturated soils, which are essential components in construction materials. He also examines the geotechnical characterization of agricultural soil constraints, such as compaction and water repellency, and engages in centrifugal scale modeling to study soil-structural behavior. In addition to his academic responsibilities, he holds an Adjunct Research Fellow position at the University of Western Australia. Beckett earned his PhD in Geotechnical Engineering from Durham University in 2011 and completed his MEng with honors in Civil Engineering at the same institution in 2008. His commitment to the field is further demonstrated through his involvement with Standards Australia Committee BD-083 on Earth Building and as a member of RILEM TC 274-TCE, contributing to the testing and characterization of earth-based building materials.
