Dr. Shahbazmubarak Abdulkhadar Dandin

Bio

Prof. Shahbaz Dandin is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Civil Engineering at MITWPU, Pune. He completed his B.E in Civil Engineering from VTU, Belgaum in 2012 and M. Tech in Geotechnical Engineering from Govt. Basaveshwar Engineering College, Bagalkot in 2014. Currently, he is pursuing a Ph.D. in Civil Engineering from Dr. Vishwanath Karad MIT World Peace University.

Prof. Dandin's primary research interests include mechanical soil stabilization, cellular reinforcement, geophysical testing, and numerical modelling of structural fills. He has published research articles in several international journals and conferences. Currently, he is working on model studies for non-conventional cellular reinforcement in structural fills.

Prof. Dandin is the recipient of a Ph.D. fellowship (tenure of 30 months) from DoM, Government of India. He also holds an Australian Patent (Granted)- Multi-utility Instant Dryer.
