Dipak Dahal

Dipak Dahal is a Ph.D. student since August 2024, admitted directly into the doctoral program after completing his bachelor’s degree in Civil Engineering from Pokhara University. His research focuses on understanding granular materials through particle-scale characterization and establishing links between microscopic particle attributes and macroscopic material behavior.

Dipak is currently contributing to the development the Particle Geometry Space (PGS) framework, an analytical approach designed to comprehensively represent three-dimensional particle characteristics within a unified framework. PGS integrates particle descriptors such as size (D), length (L), shape (β), surface area (A), volume (V), and specific surface area (A/V) to better understand how their combined effects govern the behavior of granular materials at larger scales. Through this work, he aims to advance predictive modeling approaches that bridge particle-scale mechanics with bulk geotechnical material response.
