Ripon is a geotechnical engineer with a strong academic background and diverse experience as a professional consultant. His primary areas of expertise include numerical modeling, soil structure interactions, retrogressive landslides, slope stability analyses, foundation designs, laboratory tests, and sub-soil investigations. Notable projects include providing services for flood disaster management in Bangladesh, sedimentation pond structures in Voisey’s Bay Mine Site, Newfoundland, and tailing pond facilities at the Atlantic Gold Mine Site in Nova Scotia.
As an academic researcher, Ripon conducted laboratory tests and tutorial classes at the Memorial University of Newfoundland and completed his Ph.D. focusing on large deformation finite element modeling of pile-soil interaction in sensitive clays—installation effects and responses in sloping ground. Currently, he serves as an executive member of the Canadian Geotechnical Society (CGS) in St. John’s, Newfoundland.
When he’s not working with soil structures, Ripon enjoys reading novels, watching movies, and stays busy playing with his young son and volunteering in his community.
