Dr. Subhadeep Metya is presently an Assistant Professor in the Geotechnical Engineering Division, Department of Civil Engineering, National Institute of Technology (NIT) Jamshedpur, India. He obtained his B.Tech. from the West Bengal University of Technology, followed by M.Tech. and Ph.D. from Indian Institute of Engineering Science and Technology (IIEST), Shibpur. During the tenure of his doctoral research at IIEST, Shibpur, Dr. Metya has been a recipient of the prestigious INSPIRE Fellowship of the Department of Science and Technology (DST), Government of India, from whom he has also received the prestigious Newton-Bhabha PhD Placement Grant 2015-16 by virtue of which he has completed six months' research internship at the Zienkiewicz Centre for Computational Engineering (ZCCE) at the Swansea University, UK. His awards and honours include the University Gold Medal in both B.Tech. and M.Tech., the IGS-Shri R.N. Prasad Biennial Prize (2015) and the IGS-HEICO Young Geotechnical Engineer Award (2018) by the Indian Geotechnical Society. He has so far published eight journal papers in peer-reviewed journals, as well as twelve conference papers. Besides, he has gained a rare and invaluable experience and exposure on landslide related topics while attending the well-known international school on landslides "LARAM 2014" held in University of Salerno, Italy. His current research interests include slope stability and landslides, geotechnical earthquake engineering, reinforced soil structures, rock mechanics, foundation engineering, computational geotechnics and risk and reliability applications in civil engineering.
