Dr. Naveen B. P. is a highly regarded researcher in Geotechnical Engineering, Foundation Engineering, and Geo-Environmental Engineering, with impactful contributions to municipal solid waste mechanics, landfill leachate characterization, and advanced geotechnical numerical modelling. His research systematically explores the physico-chemical, biological, and geotechnical behavior of municipal solid waste, contamination pathways, and the development of sustainable waste-management strategies for rapidly urbanizing regions. With a strong publication record spanning peer-reviewed journal articles, conference papers, book chapters, and technical reports, his scientific influence is reflected in 1415 Google Scholar citations, an h-index of 15, and an i10-index of 24 (with 1166 citations, h-index 13, and i10-index 19 since 2020). His widely cited works in high-impact journals such as Environmental Pollution, International Journal of Geo-Engineering, Measurement, and Energy Nexus address critical challenges including groundwater contamination caused by landfill leachate leakage, waste aging effects, dynamic behavior of landfilled materials, and innovative soil reinforcement using geotextiles. Dr. Naveen’s pioneering research has been referenced by governmental bodies for urban landfill rehabilitation and sustainable waste-management planning. He has also made notable contributions to advancing numerical simulation techniques, particularly through PLAXIS-based modelling of piles and landfill systems, supporting improved engineering design and environmental decision-making. His interdisciplinary approach integrates geotechnical engineering with environmental science, sustainable materials, and emerging technologies such as nanotechnology-based environmental treatments. Recognized with several prestigious research awards and international honours, he also contributes to the global research community as a journal reviewer for Elsevier, SAGE, Taylor & Francis, and Springer, and serves in editorial roles, including Chief Editor of an international journal in his field.
