Offshore acoustic high-frequency backscatter strength is widely used as a proxy for soil classification. Its accurate interpretation can lead to significant cost savings in exploration, enhance sampli...

In recent decades, it has become widely accepted that submarine landslides are a widespread sedimentary process that plays an important role in the formation of continental margins. However, morpholog...

Project Description Hydromechanical phenomena at the pore scale are key for the initiation and runout of submarine landslides. The project aims to understand the role of grain morphology and meso-stru...

Submarine landslides, from the mobilization to the transport of fluid-saturated sediments, involve the understanding and modeling of geomechanical processes at multiple length and time scales. This pr...

Background Submarine landslides represent a significant geohazard, endangering coastal communities and offshore infrastructure. The weak layer concept, attributing landslide failure planes to mechanic...

Submarine landslides involve the movement of saturated sediments down a slope, interacting with seawater and/or offshore infrastructure. During landslides, the bulk of the sediment material (usually c...

Depth-averaged models adopting advanced rheologies are not yet available for tsunami-hazard analysis. This project consists of developing an efficient landslide tsunami model with generalised rheologi...

This project will focus on hybrid offshore foundation solutions and establish robust design procedures for offshore wind turbines. Key objectives include: Developing an innovative hybrid monopile foun...

My project focuses on performance-based design of foundations for floating offshore wind turbines (FOWT) using Explainable Artificial Intelligence (XAI) within a probabilistic framework. Key objective...

Submarine landslides are gravity-driven mass movements occurring in underwater slope settings worldwide and represent a significant marine geohazard, posing risks to coastal regions and critical offsh...

Dynamic modelling of submarine landslides and induced tsunami propagation Submarine landslides pose significant risks to offshore infrastructure, such as gas and oil pipelines, offshore wind farms, an...
