Biography
Dave completed his undergraduate (BA, MEng, 1998) and post-graduate (PhD,2002) degrees at the University of Cambridge, and was appointed to a Research Fellowship at St John's College in 2001 and a Lecturership in Cambridge in 2003. He was appointed to a Professorial Fellowship at UWA in 2007.
He has over 10 years of research experience focussing on the mechanics of soils, foundations and pipelines, primarily for the offshore industry. He has led experimental and numerical studies into geotechnical mechanisms at micro- and macro-scale which have been used to understand the behaviour of piles, foundations and pipelines. Simple design methods have been devised, which are widely used in engineering practice.
Particular use has been made of two novel research techniques: (i) image analysis for deformation measurement and (ii) geotechnical centrifuge modelling. PIV analysis software developed by Dave and Dr Andy Take (Queens Univ., Canada) is used at >30 research institutes worldwide and has had a significant impact on geotechnical centrifuge modelling practice.
His research has been disseminated through >100 publications authored during the past 8 years. His papers have been awarded the Bishop Medal, the Telford Premium, the RM Quigley Honourable Mention and the BGA Prize (twice).
He is active in engineering practice, consulting widely on foundation and pipeline design for the offshore industry via the Perth-based company Advanced Geomechanics.
Dave has served on the editorial boards of three journals and two ISO standard committees (concerned with jack-up foundations and pipelines). He is Secretary of the ISSMGE's Technical Committee 2 (Geotechnical Physical Modelling), and currently leads the geotechnical aspects of the SAFEBUCK Joint Industry Project on on-bottom pipeline design.
