DESCRIPTION:“Geotechnical and Sustainable Geo-Energy Engineering - A Multid
 isciplinary Perspective” \nby Oladoyin Kolawole\, PhD\, Postdoctoral Resear
 ch Associate at Texas Tech University\n\nGeotechnics is an engineering disc
 ipline that deals with the behavior of geomaterials (soil and rock) from an
  engineering perspective. The world is currently being threatened by geohaz
 ards\, such as landslides\, ground motion\, earthquakes\, tsunamis\, floods
 \, droughts\, and other hazards from surface and subsurface structures. The
  mitigation of these hazards and protection of our environments require tec
 hnical knowledge and application of geotechnical and sustainable geo-engine
 ering. However\, as engineers\, irrespective of our expertise and engineeri
 ng discipline\, we all have a role to play in geohazard mitigation and envi
 ronmental protection. The efficient development and application of engineer
 ing technology to sustainability and resilience of geomaterials require a m
 ultidisciplinary approach. The presentation will show how we can integrate 
 different engineering disciplines (such as mechanics of materials\, biotech
 nology\, fluid mechanics\, chemical engineering\, geotechnical engineering\
 , and geo-environmental engineering) to address problems related to sustain
 ability and geohazard mitigation.\n\n\nDr. Oladoyin Kolawole integrates exp
 erimental and computational geotechnics to improve the understanding of fai
 lure in geo-systems and develop novel applications that address problems re
 lated to geomaterials\, sustainable energy resources\, and the environment.
  His research interests include geomechanics\, biogeomechanics\, sustainabl
 e energy\, geo-hazard mitigation\, and fluid transport in geo-systems. He h
 olds a Ph.D. degree from Texas Tech University\, an M.S. degree from Univer
 sity of Miskolc\, Hungary\, and a B.S. degree from Rivers State University 
 (RSU)\, Nigeria. Dr. Kolawole is currently a Postdoctoral Research Associat
 e at Texas Tech University. He previously worked as a Teaching and Research
  Assistant at Texas Tech University\, where he taught undergraduate and gra
 duate engineering courses. He has published over 30 technical papers. He vo
 lunteers as a peer reviewer for Nature Scientific Reports\, and other reput
 able scientific journals\, in addition to mentoring undergraduate and gradu
 ate students. Dr. Kolawole is a recipient of the Distinguished Service Awar
 d from the American Rock Mechanics Association (ARMA). During his leisure t
 ime\, Dr. Kolawole and his wife\, Praise\, enjoy playing tennis\, hiking\, 
 traveling\, and cooking.
