  • Senior Lecturer (Infrastructure & Environment)

Biography

Dr Róisín Buckley completed her first degree in Civil Engineering at the National University of Ireland, Galway in 2007 and her MSc in Soil Mechanics at Imperial College London in 2014. She spent the interim working in industry as a geotechnical engineer in Ireland and Australia. She completed her PhD in Imperial and spent one year there as a postdoctoral research associate. She spent 2 years at a Lecturer at the University of Oxford before joining Glasgow in 2021. She still holds a position as a Visiting Fellow in Engineering at Oxford. 

Róisín was elected as a Chartered Engineer with Engineers Ireland in 2024 and is a current Associate Editor of Géotechnique (the worlds premier Geotechnics journal). She is the University's representative on the Scottish Research Partnership in Engineering's Infrastructure & Environment leadership group and also has a leadership role related to Early Career Researchers in the School of Engineering.

Research interests

Róisín’s main research field is in experimental and theoretical geotechnics including

  • soil-structure interaction problems 
  • behaviour of weak rocks
  • large-scale static, cyclic and dynamic field testing
  • site characterisation and advanced laboratory testing

Her current research is particularly focused on foundations for offshore wind turbines. Two recent joint industry projects in which her research has played a key role:

The projects have advanced the understanding of displacement pile behaviour in chalk under a range of loading conditions.
