Research Topics

We encourage our research scholars to conduct research in areas that would have a significant impact on society. The major research topics that we work on are:

  • Sediment transport and fluid mechanics related to non-uniform sediments, hydraulic design of spillways, and design of permeable spurs.
  • Structural Engineering: Studies of earthquake-resistant structures and composite materials, nano concrete, and bacterial concrete.
  • Geotechnical Engineering: Utilization of waste plastics in the road sub-base.
  • Environmental Engineering: Use of Moringa Oliefera as a coagulant for treatment of potable water.
  • Time Series Analysis Using Geospatial Technology for River Water Mangement
  • Infrastructure and Transportation

Thrust Areas

  1. Water Resources Engineering
  2. Structural Engineering ( Composite Materials)
