Dr. Jeevan Joseph

Dr. Jeevan Joseph completed his B.Tech in Civil engineering from Mahatma Gandhi University Kerala and further, he pursued his Masters in Geotechnical Engineering from NIT, Suratkal. He joined IIT Bombay to pursue his research interest in the field of Energy Geotechnics and got awarded with the Ph. D degree in 2017. From his work, he could publish more than half a dozen international journals and couple of patents to his title. He has received research grants from ONGC for developing methodologies and instrumentation for simulating insitu conditions of gas hydrate bearing sediments. He was a visiting researcher in UPC, Barcelona from the European Commission, via the Marie Curie IRES project GREAT, ‘Geotechnical and Geological Responses to Climate Change. During this tenure, he worked on the NAGRA’S R&D program “Gas Transport in MX-80 Bentonite”, the Swiss funded project. He has also delivered talk for Kyoto University, Japan on the topic, ‘Implication of pore characteristics in unsaturated soil Mechanics’. Currently he is working as Asst. Professor in the department of Civil Engineering at NIT Trichy.
