Brief biography

Professor Bhattacharya is the chair in Geomechanics at the University of Surrey. He is also associated with University of Bristol where he held the post of Senior Lecturer in Soil Dynamics. He teaches and conducts research in the area of "Dynamic-Soil-Structure Interaction", "Offshore Geotechnics" and "Pile-Instability during Seismic Liquefaction". Prior to taking up his current post, he was a Departmental Lecturer in Engineering Science at Oxford University, Junior Research Fellow of Somerville College (Oxford), Lecturer in Lady Margaret Hall (Oxford) and Brasneose College (Oxford). Before joining the University of Oxford, Dr Bhattacharya worked at Fugro Limited (UK) and was involved in various offshore projects such as the Deep Water Gunashli (Azeri Chirag and Gunashli Project), Judy Platform, Munro platform, anchor piles for FPSO. In 2004, he was appointed 21st Century Centre of Excellence fellow at the Centre for Urban Earthquake Engineering (CUEE) at the Tokyo Institute of Technology.
