I don’t always get interviewed, but when I do it’s in Geo-Institute of ASCE’s directors cut! Thanks Brad got having me, it was really fun!

Congratulation to Lin on passing his PhD qualifying exam and on finishing his first set of centrifuge tests on anchors for floating offshore wind turbines. Looking forward to his future successes!

The deadline for the special issue on "#Bioinspired #geotechnics" in the Springer Nature Acta Geotechnica journal has been extended to January 31st, 2023 (last extension!). More info about this special issue: tinyurl.com/298vab85 Please help distributing info! JulianTao

It’s good to be back in Twitter after a hiatus. Excited to go to the Geo-Institute of ASCE #GeoCongress2023 to catch up with friends and colleagues, learn about new research, and give oral and poster presentations! A bunch of students and faculty from UC Davis Civil & Environmental Engineering will be there!

🚨Save the date! 🚨 The International Conference on Biomediated and Bioinspired Geotechnics (I-CBBG) will take place on May of 2025 in Tempe, Arizona. Please consider submitting a session proposal and an abstract. Please help sharing this information!

This year’s UC Davis UC Davis Civil & Environmental Engineering Roundtable event was fantastic! It was wonderful seeing our students present and get awards and connecting with industry members. Great discussions and feedback. Looking forward to next year’s event!

Very cool to see a full special issue on biogeotechnics! Interesting articles on🌳and 🐍 inspired foundations and anchors, MICP 🦠for🏖️ protection and liquefaction remediation, centrifuge testing, and transitioning from lab to field!

Today we did some cyclic t-bar tests to characterize the strength of our clay centrifuge model. Next week we’ll be performing load tests on offshore anchors for floating structures!!

It was a blast discussing my thoughts on the exciting field of bioinspired and biomediated geotechnics on the DesignSafe Radio podcast! I love talking about how snakes, trees, worms, bacteria, and other organisms can inspire new civil engineering solutions and reduce risk 🌳🦠🏨🌉.
