Professor Stuart Haigh

Professor Stuart Haigh is a Professor of Geotechnical Engineering at the University of Cambridge, Department of Civil Engineering. His research interests include geotechnical and environmental engineering, with a focus on geotechnical centrifuge modelling, soil dynamics, earthquake engineering, offshore geomechanics, deep foundations, and soil behaviour. His work explores topics such as liquefaction of slopes during earthquakes, cyclic upheaval buckling of offshore oil pipelines, and dynamic slope stability. Haigh has conducted research on the long-term behaviour of offshore wind turbines and has been involved in several projects, including the Cyclic Behaviour of Monopile Foundations for Offshore Wind Farms. He is also an Assistant Director of the Schofield Centre for Geotechnical Process and Construction Modelling.

Stuart Haigh is a Professor of Geotechnical Engineering at the University of Cambridge, specializing in geotechnical engineering with a focus on soil behavior, soil stabilization, and geotechnical modeling. His research interests include the mechanical properties of soils, such as thermal conductivity, plastic limit, and undrained strength, as well as the application of biotechnology in geotechnics, such as microbial induced carbonate precipitation (MICP). Haigh has contributed to the development of experimental techniques and equipment for geotechnical research, including the creation of a new automatic sand pourer and a servo-hydraulic earthquake actuator. His work emphasizes the integration of geotechnical engineering with sustainability and environmental considerations.
