About the Author

Jignasha Panchal is a distinguished geotechnical engineer and academic whose work bridges the gap between theoretical research and practical applications in soil mechanics and foundation engineering. With a PhD in geotechnical engineering from a leading institution, she has dedicated her career to advancing the understanding of soil-structure interactions through innovative physical modeling techniques. As co-editor of the seminal proceedings from the 9th International Conference on Physical Modelling in Geotechnics (ICPMG 2018), held in London, Panchal has contributed significantly to the global discourse on experimental methods in geotechnics. Her research, published in numerous peer-reviewed journals, focuses on centrifuge modeling, seismic response of foundations, and sustainable geotechnical practices. An active member of international societies, she mentors young engineers and lectures worldwide, inspiring the next generation to tackle complex challenges in civil infrastructure. Panchal's commitment to interdisciplinary collaboration underscores her role as a pivotal figure in modern geotechnical innovation.
