Susana Lopez-Querol Editor

Susana Lopez-Querol, PhD, MEng, CEng, MICE, joined University College London (UCL) in 2015 as an Associate Professor in Geotechnical Engineering. She has more than 20 years of experience as an academic at various universities in Spain and the UK. Her research interests mainly lie in the Soil Dynamics field. She is an expert in advanced numerical simulation in geotechnical engineering, and interested in the constitutive behaviour of soil under dynamic loading, from both experimental and numerical points of view. Susana has been investigating different aspects related to the foundations of offshore structures during the last decade. She has supervised more than 10 PhD students to completion, several of them specifically in topics related to offshore wind turbine foundations. She has a significant number of academic publications on those topics, both in journals, conferences and book chapters, and led a project on the experimental investigation of the installation of monopiles in the centrifuge (at TU Delft).
