About Mohan Gowda K. T.

I am a Civil Engineer with a specialization in Geotechnical and Geoenvironmental Engineering, holding a Dual Degree (M.Tech + Ph.D.) from IIT Bombay. My doctoral research focused on landfill barrier systems, specifically investigating polymer-bentonite blended coal ash through comprehensive laboratory experimentation and a large-scale physical model study using the Hydraulic Gradient Similitude Method.Alongside my academic pursuits, I have actively contributed to several client-based geotechnical consultancy projects under the mentorship of senior faculty at IIT Bombay. These projects have encompassed the design and analysis of shoring systems, foundation stability assessments, and soil-structure interaction evaluations in complex urban environments.I have also played a key role in academics by assisting in the instruction of undergraduate and postgraduate courses and labs in geotechnical engineering, including Foundation Engineering, Soil Mechanics, and Centrifuge Model Studies.I bring to the table strong analytical, presentation, and technical writing skills, with proficiency in industry-standard software such as PLAXIS 2D, GeoStudio, MATLAB, AutoCAD, and MS Excel. I am deeply committed to continuous learning, quality delivery, and collaborative problem-solving.I am open to opportunities in collaborative research, consulting, or academic roles within geotechnical, geoenvironmental, or sustainability-focused engineering domains.
