Regular biography
Mohd Ahmad Syed is a Senior Lecturer in Geotech Engineering at the University of Manchester, Department of Civil Engineering. His research interests include climate change modelling, resilient infrastructure, environmental sustainability, internal erosion modelling, geotechnical earthquake engineering, and geomechanics using numerical and analytical techniques. Syed has conducted studies on the impact of climate change on geotechnical infrastructure, developed methodologies for assessing infrastructure resilience, and explored sustainable geotechnical solutions. He has led projects involving artificially weathered soil creation and coupled software analysis for embankment stability under future climate scenarios. Syed has also contributed to seismic risk analysis and the development of innovative geotechnical methodologies. He is actively seeking PhD students in these areas.
Scholar-generated biography
Syed Mohd Ahmad is an Associate Professor in Geotechnical Engineering at the University of Manchester, specializing in climate change modelling, sustainability, climate resilient infrastructure, and natural hazard modelling. His research focuses on the seismic stability of waterfront retaining walls, seismic design methods, and the impact of natural hazards on geotechnical structures. Ahmad's work includes the development of pseudo-static and pseudo-dynamic approaches for seismic analysis, as well as the integration of seepage effects and liquefaction in geotechnical design. His studies also address seismic fragility analysis, probabilistic seismic hazard assessment, and the use of advanced numerical methods for geotechnical engineering problems.
