GOH Siang Huat
Principal Investigator, Tectonics Group

GOH Siang Huat is an assistant professor in the Department of Civil Engineering at the National University of Singapore and a principal investigator at EOS. After completing bachelor’s and master’s degrees at NUS, he obtained a PhD from Cornell University in the US, where his research focused on the response of piles to liquefaction-induced ground deformation during earthquakes. While subsequently working at Mueser Rutledge Consulting Engineers in New York City, he assisted with analyses to aid recovery and reconstruction efforts after the September 2001 terrorist attacks on the World Trade Centre. His current research includes centrifuge experiments to study the dynamic interaction of piles and soft clays during earthquake shaking, as well as the development of numerical techniques for 3D modelling of large-scale ground motion simulation and soil-structure interaction during seismic activity.
