Sunita Kumari

Prof. Sunita Kumari earned her Ph.D in Civil Engineering at Indian Institute of

Technology Roorkee. Prof. Sunita had joined National Institute of Technology Patna as

a faculty in 2006 and presently she is holding position of Professor n the department of

Civil Engineering. She has supervised many PhD, post graduates and graduates students

with teaching experience of more than 17 years in field of Geotechnical Engineering and

Earthquake engineering. Her fields of specialization and interest include: Modeling of

liquefaction and remedial measures, liquefaction behaviour of fine grained soil,

practical application of soft computing in engineering, Coupled soil- fluid interaction,

Coupled finite- Infinite Element solution of geotechnical problems. Prof. Sunita has

developed modeling procedures for determination of response to dynamic behaviour

of soil. She has also addressed a shortage of existing empirical, semi-empirical, and

simplified equations for the evaluation of geo-risks. In addition to the collaborative work

that motivated the development of these new modeling procedures in geotechnical

engineering, she is also involved in applied and collaborative work and research projects

that focus on numerical models. In addition, she also developed Finite element based

code for determination of seismic liquefaction potential of soil with infinite boundary.
