2025 GeoSymposium showcases research and looks at Risk
Nov 17, 2025
The 2025 Geotechnical Engineering Research Symposium (GeoSymposium) wrapped up this week successfully. Research presentations were delivered by PhD students Satuk Bugrahan Sari, Mirna Kassem, Parker Blunts, Bofei Xu, and Micaela Largent. Networking opportunities occurred during the poster session featuring 29 posters of students' research. Insights were provided from our industry panelists Norman Abrahamson of UC Berkeley, Victor Romero of Delve Underground, Thaleia Travasarou of Fugro, Julien Waeber of Exponent, and Jennie Watson-Lamprey of CODA SEISMIC on this year's theme, "Analyzing Risk in Geotechnical Engineering." Finally, we capped off the event with a happy hour at La Val's generously sponsored by GEI and Geosyntec.
Thanks to all who came and made it a memorable afternoon and evening!
