Graduate Research Assistant
University of Maryland
Sai is a doctoral candidate in the Civil and Environmental Engineering department, with a research focus on Soil erosion management. Her work tests compost-amended topsoils (CAT) as a green alternative to reduce erosion and minimize environmental impacts through vegetative establishment and growth for highway construction projects. The overall goal of this project is to derive science-based information on environmental and geotechnical properties for CAT blends, and provide recommendation for use of CATs in highway embankment stabilization, without leading to excess environmental or management impacts. The major drive and motivation of her research is to develop novel treatment methods/applications that are long-term sustainable.
