Amandine Brosse

Dr Amandine Brosse is a geotechnical engineer with 15 years of experience in research and industry, with particular emphasis on soil characterisation through site investigation, laboratory testing, instrumentation and monitoring.

She has experience in characterising the behaviour of a wide range of soils, from stiff over-consolidated clays, residual soils to very soft marine & alluvial deposits, for various projects including offshore wind farms and mine waste disposal. She has expertise in advanced laboratory testing and an interest in applying data science to geotechnical problems.
