Abdalla Almukashfi is a Senior Engineer in the Geotechnical Laboratory at Geo, Denmark, with over 10 years of experience in geotechnical testing, design and computational geotechnics across the offshore wind, oil and gas, and infrastructure sectors. He holds a BSc in Civil Engineering from the University of Khartoum and an MSc in Geotechnical and Hydraulic Engineering from Graz University of Technology. He is completing his PhD at the University of Minho, focusing on coupled experimental and numerical approaches to dynamic soil characterisation, and has held visiting research positions at the University of Lisbon and the University of Milano-Bicocca.
His expertise covers advanced laboratory testing, soil dynamics, cyclic soil behaviour, soil–structure interfaces and thermal soil properties. His computational work includes the hybrid-Trefftz finite element method and numerical modelling of poro-elastodynamic problems. His project experience includes oil and gas developments, covering site investigations, laboratory testing, foundation design and ground improvement, as well as advanced laboratory investigations for major offshore wind projects, such as Hornsea 4 in the UK.
He leads Geo's contribution to the EU-funded TREASURE project, which investigates soil behaviour around pit thermal energy storage systems, and is a co-developer of GeoHyTE, a computational toolbox for the automated interpretation of bender element tests. His scientific contributions include peer-reviewed journal articles, conference papers and presentations at international conferences within the ISSMGE community.
