معرفی
Dr. Muhannad T. Suleiman is a Professor of Geotechnical Engineering at Lehigh University's College of Engineering and Applied Science. He leads the National Offshore Wind Energy Testing and Hybrid Simulation Facility funded by the U.S. Department of Energy. His research focuses on sustainable infrastructure, geothermal energy systems, and bio-inspired soil improvement technologies. He holds the P.C. Rossin Assistant Professorship and the Shamsher Prakash Teaching Prize.
Education: Ph.D. (Geotechnical Engineering, Iowa State University), M.S. & B.S. (Civil Engineering, Jordan University of Science and Technology).
Research Interests: Soil-structure interaction for offshore wind turbines, thermoactive geotechnical systems, microbial-induced carbonate precipitation for soil stabilization, and wireless subsurface sensing networks. His work integrates geotechnical engineering with renewable energy applications and disaster-resilient infrastructure design.
Grants & Recognition: Over $12M in DOE funding, NSF grants, and Qatar National Research Fund support. His research group developed patented ground-improvement technologies and wireless sensing systems for subsurface monitoring.
Teaching & Service: Teaches advanced geotechnical courses including Soil Mechanics and Foundation Engineering. Serves as Chair of ASCE's Deep Foundations Committee and editorial board member of Journal of Geotechnical and Geoenvironmental Engineering. Active in national committees like TRB Foundations of Bridges and the Deep Foundation Institute.
Labs & Facilities: Directs testing at Lehigh's ATLSS Center, utilizing large-scale soil boxes and advanced instrumentation for full-scale geotechnical experimentation.
