Djamalddine Boumezerane

Djamalddine Boumezerane is a Lecturer in Civil Engineering (Geotechnical) at the School of Computing, Engineering and Physical Sciences, University of the West of Scotland. His research focuses on geotechnical engineering with emphasis on constitutive modeling of geomaterials, parameter uncertainty analysis, fuzzy-based approaches, and geohazard risk assessment. He teaches modules like Digital Surveying, Applied Soil Mechanics, and Ground and Highway Engineering at undergraduate levels, and Advanced Geotechnical Engineering at master's level.

His expertise aligns with UN Sustainable Development Goals related to resilient infrastructure and climate action. Key research areas include uncertainty quantification in geotechnical systems, optimization techniques for geotechnical design, and probabilistic modeling of geotechnical investigations. Boumezerane's work bridges theoretical advancements with practical applications, such as improving subgrade stability using lime-cement additives and developing earthquake-resistant building isolation systems with rubber-sand mixtures.

Recent publications (2020–2024) emphasize fuzzy set theory applications in clay modeling, parameter optimization for soil nailing, and global codes of practice for earthen construction. He is actively involved in PhD supervision, offering projects on parameter uncertainty in constitutive modeling of geomaterials. Collaborations span international geotechnical networks and research on earthen materials' sustainability.
