Biography
Muhammad Saqlain is currently a PhD researcher at University College Dublin (UCD) under the guidance of Dr. Shane Donohue. He completed his Bachelor of Science in Geology at the Federal University of Arts, Science, and Technology in Karachi, Pakistan in 2015. Following their undergraduate studies, he gained two years of experience in a soil testing company located in Karachi. In 2021, he achieved a Master's degree in Geotechnical Engineering from National Yang Ming Chiao Tung University (NYCU) and subsequently served as a research assistant at the National Central University Taiwan for one and a half years.
His research focuses on using innovative technology to monitor and assess the stability of slopes, like those found in hilly or mountainous areas. He employs a technique called Distributed Acoustic Sensing (DAS) to gather information about these slopes. This data helps us better understand the potential risks associated with landslides and other slope movements. By doing so, we can take proactive measures to ensure the safety of people living or working in these areas and protect the environment.
