Geotechnical Engineering 

Welcome to the Geotechnical Engineering division at Southern Illinois University Carbondale, where we are dedicated to advancing sustainable, resilient, and innovative solutions for critical geotechnical infrastructure challenges. Our team of distinguished faculty, researchers, and students collaborate to address pressing global issues, from soil and foundation engineering to environmental and climate resilience in infrastructure.

We are committed to providing a rigorous educational experience that prepares students to excel in the field of geotechnical engineering. Through our cutting-edge research labs, including the Sustainable and Resilient Geo-Infrastructure Lab for Climate Change, we develop strategies that enhance infrastructure stability and sustainability. Our research spans areas such as soil-structure interaction, ground improvement, and the development of sustainable soil stabilization techniques for diverse environments, especially coastal and urban regions vulnerable to natural hazards.

Join us as we pave the way for the next generation of geotechnical engineers, fostering innovation and sustainability at the intersection of research and real-world application.
