Ashutosh Sutra Dhar is Professor and Acting Department Head in Civil Engineering at Memorial University, specializing in geotechnical and infrastructure engineering. With over 20 years of academic and industry experience, his research focuses on soil-pipe interaction, pipeline integrity, and infrastructure assessment methodologies. Previously holding positions at New Mexico State University and Bangladesh University of Engineering & Technology, he maintains professional engineering licensure in multiple provinces.
Research domains include:
- Municipal pipeline failure mechanisms
- Full-scale testing of buried infrastructure
- Acoustic emission leak detection
- Geotechnical instrumentation
Publications demonstrate advanced computational modeling of pipeline behavior under ground movement, corrosion, and buckling stresses. Awards recognize contributions to geotechnical research and professional service.
Current research groups investigate polymer pipe mechanics, offshore pipeline stability, and machine learning applications in infrastructure management. Funded projects include NSERC CRD and Engage grants with industry partners.
