Bio
Dr. Almajed was appointed Assistant Professor in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at King Saud University (KSU) in April 2018. He received his Ph.D. degree in Civil, Environmental and Sustainable Engineering from Arizona State University (ASU) in 2017. Dr. Alamjed’s research focused on biogeotechnical engineering and biogeochemical processes for ground improvement and remediation. Dr. Almajed investigated the mechanical properties of enzyme induced carbonate precipitation (EICP) treated soil under different carbonate contents and different treatment. His expertise includes experimentation and analytical testing that related to mineral precipitation using biological processes and macromolecules such as free urease enzymes and biopolymers. He is also involved in several projects that related to the improvements of the mechanical properties of the soil, surficial soil stabilization, and environmental remediation
