On March 13, 2024, the British Geotechnical Association (BGA) announced that our very own Professor Kenichi Soga will be delivering the 63rd Rankine Lecture in March 2025 at Imperial College London. The Rankine Lecture is a UK-based lecture series and is considered as one of the most prestigious invited lectures in the field of geotechnics.

You can delve deeper into this exciting news by reading an insightful interview with Kenichi, recently published by Geoengineer.org. Once again, congratulations are in order for your remarkable career and achievements!

There have only been 11 US-based individuals who have been selected for the Rankine Lecture. Of the 11 USA lecturers, four are from UC Berkeley: H. B. Seed, J. K. Mitchell, R. Goodman, and K. Soga!!
