Biography:
Dr. Fall is currently an Associate Professor in the Department of Civil Engineering at the University of Ottawa (Canada) and the Director of the Ottawa-Carleton Institute for Environmental Engineering. He graduated from the Earth Science Institute at the University of Dakar with an Award of Excellence for best graduating engineer. He was awarded a PhD excellence scholarship for his PhD studies in geotechnical engineering at the Freiberg University of Mining and Technology (Germany).
Subsequently, he was granted a postdoctoral fellowship by the German Research Foundation and coordinated the German Research Chair of Environmental Geosciences and Geotechnics.
In 2006, Dr. Fall joined the Department of Civil Engineering at the University of Ottawa. He has been leading several major research projects that are related to mine waste management, underground disposal of nuclear wastes, carbon sequestration and engineered landfill technology. Dr. Fall is currently supervising a large research team of postdoctoral researchers and graduate students (PhD and Masters). His team is performing leading edge research in the geotechnical and geoenvironmental fields in close collaboration with the industry, major federal and provincial governmental institutions, and international partners.
Dr. Fall is a member of several societies and acted as peer reviewer for several international journals and grant applications.
