He is currently the editor-in-chief of the journal - the International Journal of Geotechnical Engineering - published by Taylor and Francis (UK)]. The first issue of the journal was released in October 2007.

Dr. Das has received numerous awards for teaching excellence. He is the author of several geotechnical engineering text and reference books and has authored numerous technical papers in the area of geotechnical engineering. His primary areas of research include shallow foundations, earth anchors, and geosynthetics.]
