- Computational solid mechanics and geomechanics
- Iterative solvers for linear systems arising from finite
element
and meshless analysis
- Mechanics of earthen construction materials, particularly
rammed
earth
- Unsaturated soil mechanics
- Scaled boundary methods
- Meshless (or meshfree) methods
- Computational fracture modelling
- High performance computing applied to the above (maybe not rammed earth though)
- A complete list of my publications can be found here.
