Biography

Vikram Singh is a Geotechnical Engineer and researcher with over eight years of combined research and industry experience in offshore engineering. Currently, he is a Research Fellow at the Centre for Offshore Foundation Systems (COFS) at the University of Western Australia (UWA). His work focuses on offshore geotechnics, with particular expertise in foundation systems for offshore wind turbines. Vikram's research combines geotechnical centrifuge modelling, field testing, and advanced numerical modelling to understand the performance of offshore foundations under complex loading conditions. He completed his PhD in Offshore Geotechnical Engineering at UWA in 2022, developing large deformation finite element codes and constitutive models that effectively capture the response of fine-grained deepwater sediments. His research has produced several high-impact journal papers, and he has received multiple awards, including the UWA Research Collaboration Award. In addition to his research, Vikram is involved in student supervision and community outreach, serving roles such as peer reviewer for international journals and committee member for various professional organizations.
