Nripojyoti Biswas is an Assistant Professor of Civil and Environmental Engineering at the University of Massachusetts Lowell (UML). His research focuses on geotechnical engineering, coastal hazards, and sustainable infrastructure systems, with particular emphasis on low-carbon construction materials, ground improvement techniques, and infrastructure resilience. He integrates computational modeling, remote sensing, and field investigations to address erosion, scour, and climate change–driven risks to civil infrastructure. His work has advanced the development of sustainable geomaterials such as geopolymers, quarry dust composites, and recycled aggregates, while also contributing to improved understanding of soil behavior under coastal and extreme environmental conditions. He has also published and presented widely on infrastructure monitoring, net-zero construction, and resilience-based design. Professor Biswas is the founder of the Biswas Geosystems Research Group, which explores innovations at the intersection of geotechnics, sustainability, and emerging technologies.
Professor Biswas is actively engaged with the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) Geo-Institute, where he serves as a Secretary on the Sustainability in Geotechnical Engineering Committee. He is also a serving as a member for the Standing Committee on Geomaterials Behavior and Properties (AKH19). Prior to joining UML, he was a Senior Research Engineer and Postdoctoral Researcher at Texas A&M University, College Station, Texas.
