Personal profile
Research interests
Dr Andrea Diambra is an Associate Professor of Geotechnical Engineering at University of Bristol. His research work build upon soil behaviour studies to develop more efficient and sustainable solutions for a wide range of infrastructure including:
1) new geotechnical solutions for offshore energy systems;
2) development of novel ground improvements techniques.
His research uses an approach across the length scales involving a range of techniques from experimental element testing, constitutive modelling, numerical analyses and full-scale testing. He works closely with other disciplines including robotics, mechanical engineering, geography and fluids. Andrea enjoys working with industry to explore the application of research findings or to help solving practical industrial problems.
