James Watt School of Engineering

Dr Carla Comadran Casas

  • Research Associate (Infrastructure & Environment)

Research interests

My research focuses on biogeotechnical and environmental engineering, particularly on the development of low-carbon nature-based solutions to improve soil strength and remediate contaminated land with applications in soil stabilisation, heavy metal and hydrocarbon remediation, carbon capture and storage, greenhouse gas assessment, and sustainable ground infrastructure.
