Meet the Team

  • Ashish Bastola, Ph.D. Student

    I earned my Bachelor of Engineering degree from Tribhuvan University, Kathmandu, and later pursued a master’s degree in civil engineering from Tongji University, Shanghai. During my master’s program, I studied the effect of fines content on the liquefaction potential of silty sand.

    After completing my master's degree, I joined Resilient GeoMaterials Group in 2022 as a PhD student. My research focuses on the computational modeling of chemically stabilized soil, utilizing computational geochemistry to predict the formation of strength-enhancing products in the stabilized soil.

  • Meraz Montaseer, Master's student

    I am a Master’s student at Oregon State University. My interest lies in the field of infrastructure materials and their rheological, mechanical, durability and microstructural characteristics. My profound interest in this field is driven by a passion for understanding the intricacies of materials that form the backbone of our built environment. Through my research, I seek to bridge the gap between scientific inquiry and practical applications, fostering innovation that promotes more sustainable and environment-friendly construction materials.

  • Maryam Masoomi, Ph.D. Student

    I am a PhD student at Oregon state university. The focus of my research is 3D printing and sustainable building materials. I obtained my bachelor’s degree in civil engineering in Iran. I graduated from University of Padova, Italy with a master’s degree in environmental engineering. During my time in Padova, I began my research into sustainable building materials and 3D printing and spent two years as a graduate research assistant, where I studied various types of low-carbon and sustainable material and Life cycle assessment methods in construction industry.

  • Vaibhan Ingle, Ph.D. Student

    I am a doctoral student with a master's in Stru. Engg. and bachelor in Civil Engg. and passionate about sustainable engineering construction materials. To pursue this interest, I have worked as a JRF at the CSIR-Structural Engineering Research Centre and as RA at the CSIR-Central Building Research Institute in India. My research explored the characterization of 3D printing with cementitious composites using conventional testing and Acoustic Emission techniques. 

  • Maxwell Williams, Undergraduate Research Assistant

    I am currently working towards my bachelor's in Civil Engineering. I am working as an undergrad research assistant in the geotechnical engineering field I am hoping to continue my research into a master's degree in the Geotech department . I am also hoping to advance my professional skills when working with my colleagues

  • Myat Su Shin, Undergraduate Research Assistant

    I am a senior Civil Engineering student at Oregon State University with a particular interest in Geotechnical and Structural engineering. At Oregon State University, I work as a lab assistant at Oregon State University for Dr. Pavan Akula's research team on soil modification for 3D construction printing (3DCP) and developing new materials for carbon capture in soil-based materials. After I graduate, I'd like to pursue a Master's in science. My enthusiasm for Geotechnical and Structural engineering has led me to pursue a Master's in Science degree to further my knowledge and expertise in the field
