Dr Cholachat Rujikiatkamjorn is a research associate in School of Civil, Mining and
Environmental Engineering. His areas of interest are in geotechnical and rail way
engineeirng. He has applied his research findings in the area of sub-surface drainage for
soft soil improvement under railway and road embankments. He is currently working as a
researcher under the guidance of Prof. Indraratna in two key projects, ARC-DP (Particle
Breakage) and CRC-Rail (formation-Ballast interaction). Recently, he received a
Trailblazer Award-2006 for the innovation and commercial potential of my research on
stabilization of highly compressible soils. For further information refer to
Cholachat's personal page and publications.
