Book nowJoin us for the 63rd Rankine Lecture and dinner. The lecture will be presented by professor Kenichi Soga from the University of California, Berkeley. This year’s lecture, titled From Geo-monitor to Geo-adapt: Leveraging Distributed Sensing and Data Analytics for Performance-Based Design, Construction, and Maintenance, will explore cutting-edge methods in geotechnical engineering.
Professor Soga will discuss advancements in distributed sensing and data analytics that are transforming how we monitor, adapt, and optimise the performance of infrastructure throughout its lifecycle.
The lecture will present three case studies (tunnels, pipelines, and deep foundations) to demonstrate how distributed sensing data and data analytic techniques can provide geotechnical insights, enabling us to adapt to ever-changing demands.

distinguished professor
Kenichi Soga is the Donald H. McLaughlin chair in mineral engineering and a distinguished professor at the University of California Berkeley. He earned his BEng and MEng from Kyoto University in Japan and Ph.D. from the University of California at Berkeley. Prior to joining UC Berkeley in 2016, he was a Professor of Civil Engineering at the University of Cambridge. He has authored more than 450 journal and conference papers and co-authored the book "Fundamentals of Soil Behavior". His research focuses on infrastructure sensing, performance-based design and maintenance of underground structures, energy geotechnics, and geotechnics from micro to macro.
He is a Fellow of the UK Royal Academy of Engineering, a Fellow of the Institution of Civil Engineers and a member of the US National Academy of Engineering. He has received numerous awards, including the George Stephenson Medal and Telford Gold Medal from the Institution of Civil Engineers, and the Walter L. Huber Civil Engineering Research Prize from the American Society of Civil Engineers. He is also a Bakar Fellow of UC Berkeley, working to promote the commercialization of smart infrastructure technologies.
Join us to hear from the client, the Department for Infrastructure, the client’s representative, AtkinsRéalis, and D&B contractor, Charles Brand, as they describe the design and construction of the flood defence scheme protecting Belfast from tidal flooding to 2080.
