Yunesh Saulick

Dr. Yunesh Saulick is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Civil Engineering at the University of Ottawa, Faculty of Engineering. His expertise lies in geotechnical engineering and sustainable infrastructure, focusing on climate-resilient construction materials, particularly hydrophobic granular materials. He holds a PhD from the University of Hong Kong and completed postdoctoral research at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte and the University of Hong Kong.

His research addresses geotechnical challenges such as slope instability, frost heaving, and expansive clays by integrating micro- and nano-scale materials engineering with macro-scale infrastructure applications. Key areas include engineered water repellency, soil treatment optimization, and field-scale implementation in harsh environments. His work emphasizes bridging fundamental material science with practical infrastructure solutions to enhance community resilience against climate impacts.

Dr. Saulick’s recent publications (2017–2024) focus on hydrophobic materials, soil compaction, frost mitigation, and expansive soil behavior. His research spans granular materials characterization, polymer coatings, and innovative techniques for moisture control in pavements and foundations. He actively contributes to advancing sustainable infrastructure through interdisciplinary approaches.
