Ehsan Jorat is a Reader in Geo-environmental Engineering at Abertay University, where he serves as Programme Leader for Civil & Environmental Engineering (BEng/MEng). He is affiliated with the Department of Built Environment and Life Sciences within the School of Science, Engineering and Technology. With over ten years of experience in geotechnical engineering, he has held academic and industry roles in Malaysia, Iran, Germany, and the UK. PhD in Geotechnical Engineering – University of Bremen (Germany) & University of Waikato (New Zealand), 2014 MEng in Geotechnical Engineering – University of Technology Malaysia, 2010 Dr. Jorat's research focuses on applied geotechnics, particularly soil carbon sequestration, microbial-induced calcite precipitation, digital soil mapping, and sustainable civil engineering. He is currently leading work on the SUCCESS project (Sustainable Urban Carbon Capture: Engineering Soils for Climate Change), funded by EPSRC, which investigates soil carbonation’s impact on flood risk and develops measurement systems for the process. His research also includes soft soil stabilization, advanced CPTu testing, and AI applications in soil analysis. The most recent publications reflect a strong trend toward sustainability, climate change mitigation, and innovative soil engineering techniques. Key themes include carbon sequestration in urban soils, environmental impact of construction on wetlands, greenhouse gas emissions from biogeochemical processes, and optimization of soil sampling using AI-driven statistical methods. These works appear in high-impact journals such as Geoderma , European Journal of Soil Science , and Sustainability . Dr. Jorat has secured over £1 million in research funding as both Principal Investigator and Co-Investigator. He actively supervises PhD students and welcomes new candidates interested in geoenvironmental research at Abertay University. He teaches core modules including Geotechnical Engineering, Structural Design, and Advanced Geotechnical Engineering. His research contributes to multiple UN Sustainable Development Goals, particularly those related to climate action, sustainable cities, and responsible consumption. He has also contributed to open datasets on microbial-induced calcite precipitation and mineralogical drill core analysis, enhancing reproducibility and collaboration in geoscience.
