Biography

Shane Donohue is a Funded Investigator in the ICRAG geohazards spoke. Shane graduated from University College Dublin (UCD) with a PhD in 2006. He has held academic positions in the University of Bath and Queen’s University Belfast. He was appointed to the position of Associate Professor in University College Dublin in January 2018.

Shane’s research is concerned with understanding the properties of the ground and developing innovative ways of imaging the subsurface. He uses this information to better understand (1) the causes of landslides and predicting when they might move, (2) the properties of the seabed, to assist with the design of offshore renewable energy infrastructure and (3) the condition of geo-infrastructure slopes, such as flood defences as well as embankments and cuttings supporting transport networks.

Shane’s research focuses on geotechnical and environmental applications of field and laboratory geophysical and geotechnical techniques, as well as remote sensing tools, and on the development of high resolution near surface geophysical technologies. His research group are carrying out interdisciplinary projects in the areas of landslides, offshore site investigation and geotechnical infrastructure resilience.
