Biography

Dr. Subhadeep Metya is presently an Assistant Professor in the Geotechnical Engineering Division, Department of Civil Engineering, National Institute of Technology (NIT) Jamshedpur, India. He obtained his B. Tech. (1st Class 1st) from the West Bengal University of Technology, followed by M. Tech. (1st Class 1st) and Ph. D. from the Indian Institute of Engineering Science and Technology (IIEST), Shibpur. During the tenure of his doctoral research at IIEST, Shibpur, Dr. Metya has been a recipient of the prestigious INSPIRE Fellowship of the Department of Science and Technology (DST), Government of India, from whom he has also received the prestigious Newton-Bhabha PhD Placement Grant 2015-16 by virtue of which he has successfully completed six months’ research internship at the Zienkiewicz Centre for Computational Engineering (ZCCE) at the Swansea University, UK. As for his research contribution so far, Dr. Metya has co-authored two books, ten book chapters, eleven papers in peer-reviewed journals, as well as fifteen conference papers. His awards and honours include the University Gold Medal in both B.Tech. and M.Tech., the IGS-Shri R.N. Prasad Biennial Prize (2015) and the IGS-HEICO Young Geotechnical Engineer Award (2018) by the Indian Geotechnical Society. Besides, he has gained a rare and invaluable experience and exposure on landslide related issues while attending the internationally well-known school on landslides “LARAM” held in University of Salerno, Italy in 2014.

His current research interests include slope stability and landslides, geotechnical earthquake engineering, reinforced soil structures, rock mechanics, foundation engineering, computational geotechnics and risk and reliability applications in civil engineering. Dr. Metya welcomes enquiries from prospective and ambitious Ph. D. students interested in these areas and enjoys collaborating on multidisciplinary projects.
