The main focus of my scientific work is developing computer models and programs for stress and stability analysis of embankment and concrete dams, underground and other hydraulic and geotechnical structures.
I have worked on leading and supervising the studies for more than 50 scientific and engineering projects in Bulgaria, Mexico, Iran and Poland, related to stress state and stability analysis and design of embankment and concrete dams, tunnels, caverns, mines, slopes, etc.
