Jamie Standing

Professor Jamie Standing is a Professor of Ground Engineering in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at Imperial College London's Faculty of Engineering. His roles include membership in the Geotechnics Section and serving as a visiting professor at Beijing University of Technology (2008–2011). He holds editorial positions, including assistant scientific editor of the Quarterly Journal of Engineering Geology and Hydrogeology (2013–2018), and participates in technical committees of the International Society of Soil Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering (TC204, TC220, TC301).

His teaching focuses on Soil Mechanics for undergraduates and advanced geotechnical topics for MSc students, including Geotechnical Processes and Partly Saturated Soil Mechanics. He has supervised numerous MSc and PhD projects, contributing to geotechnical research.

Research interests span tunnelling-induced ground movements, urban environment effects, soil-structure interaction, and soil properties of global soils (e.g., Sudanese expansive clays, Libyan gypsiferous soils). He investigates partly saturated soils for applications like nuclear waste management and develops new field and laboratory instrumentation. He has edited several books on geotechnical engineering.

No scientific awards or specific grants are mentioned in the text. His professional engagements include roles in learned societies such as the British Geotechnical Association and British Tunnelling Society.
