Modelling and Analysis in Geotechnical Engineering (MAGE)

We develop, implement and apply advanced computational tools to engineering problems associated with interactions with the ground.

Formed in February 2020 to work as a hub at Imperial College London for collaborative research on Computational Modelling in Geotechnical Engineering, the MAGE - Modelling and Analysis in Geotechnical Engineering group focuses on developing the next generation of simulation tools for application in the Geotechnical Engineering industry. Our mission is ultimately to contribute to better engineering design, while developing the fundamental research required to underpin new technology that can be transferred to our industry partners. Our research includes a variety of topics, such as offshore wind energy, urban energy and transport infrastructure, earthquake-resilient structures, and nature-inspired solutions and soil-plant-atmosphere interaction. Our team page outlines the research interests of all of our current and past members - get in touch if you want to learn more about our work.

Rampion Offshore Wind Farm, United Kingdom

Offshore Geotechnics

Learn about our research in long-term response of offshore foundations and behaviour under seismic loading

Researchers work and chat in the atrium levels of the Sir Alexander Fleming Building at South Kensington campus

Ground-source energy

We are exploring the provision of low-carbon heating and cooling to buildings using the ground as a battery

Open Science and Outputs

Our conference and journal publications are listed in our Publications page and hosted by Imperial College's research repository, Spiral. At MAGE we also make available several of our models, documentation, experimental and numerical datasets and project outputs through our dedicated community in Zenodo. We are continuously updating our repository so check frequently for new content.

Research Projects

We are involved in many research projects funded by the Leverhulme Trust, NERC, EPSRC standard grants, EPSRC Impact Acceleration Accounts and co-funded EPSRC-NEUP (US) projects. We are also very proud to host fellows funded by the Iberdrola E4F programme as well as the Royal Commission for the Exhibition of 1851. We are always happy to support strong candidates for a variety of doctoral and post-doctoral schemes.
