About Me
Dr. Oladoyin Kolawole is an Assistant Professor of Geomechanics and Geotechnical Engineering in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at the New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT), and also the Faculty Coordinator for the Geosystems Minor program at NJIT. He leads the Geomechanics for Geo-Engineering and Sustainability (GGES) Lab. He received his PhD from Texas Tech University and an MS degree from the University of Miskolc, Hungary. Before joining NJIT, He worked as a Postdoctoral Research Associate in Biogeotechnics at Texas Tech University, and later as a Visiting Assistant Professor at Hope College, Michigan. He pioneered the concept of “biogeomechanics,” which studies the mechanical behavior of rocks in response to biologically induced reactions. His research combines experimental and computational methods to fundamentally understand and model the spatio-temporal relationship between the mechanical responses and the physical attributes of porous media (rocks and soils) triggered by natural or engineered processes, addressing critical infrastructure and sustainable energy challenges. Specifically, His expertise is in the areas of experimental and computational geomechanics, biogeotechnics, ground improvement and surrounding rock control, sustainable energy systems, and infrastructure resilience to evolving climatic and urbanization events. Dr. Kolawole currently serves on the Committee on Geological and Geotechnical Engineering (COGGE) of the U.S. National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine (NASEM). His contributions have been recognized with the 2022 Future Leader Award and the 2021 Distinguished Service Award from the American Rock Mechanics Association (ARMA), as well as participation in the 2025 Frontiers of Engineering program of the National Academy of Engineering (NAE), among other awards. He is an editorial board member of Nature Scientific Reports and Discover Civil Engineering journals.
