Grainne has an MEng in Civil Engineering with European Studies and a PhD in Geotechnical Engineering, both from Strathclyde. Her research is largely experimental and focuses on understanding the hydraulic and mechanical behaviour of soils and rocks. She is particularly interested in the potential use of biological processes in geotechnical engineering, and is currently developing novel grouting technologies, including microbially induced calcite precipitation as a technique for sealing fine aperture fractures.

More information on Grainne and her research can be found on the University of Strathclyde webpages.
