About:
Dr. M. Roshan Khan is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Civil Engineering at IIT Hyderabad. Prior to joining IIT Hyderabad, Dr. Khan was working as an Institute Post-Doctoral Fellow in the Department of Civil Engineering at IIT Bombay, following his position as a Research Associate and his Ph.D. in Civil Engineering from IIT Bombay (2020). His core research interests are in the area of Railway-Geotechnics, and his doctoral research focused on the characterization and mitigation of ground-borne railway vibrations. Dr. Khan also completed his Professional Education in Railway Engineering from Delft University of Technology (TU Delft), the Netherlands (2019) with full sponsorship from the Industrial Research and Consultancy Centre, IIT Bombay. He has completed his M.Tech. in Geotechnical Engineering and B.Tech. in Civil Engineering from the University of Calicut in 2013 and 2010, respectively. Before joining for Ph.D., he had worked as an Assistant Professor for one year (2014-15), and as an Assistant Engineer at Oman National Engineering & Investment Co., Muscat, Sultanate of Oman (2013). Dr. Khan is also a recipient of prestigious awards, including the 'IGS-AISAT Award' from Indian Geotechnical Society for Best Master's Research Thesis (2012-13), 'Best Presentation Award (2017)' and 'Best Paper Award (2012)' in International and National level conference presentations and 'Techno Shark Award - First Prize' from Indian Society for Technical Education (2010).Education:
