Rate My Professor Subhadeep Metya

Dr. Subhadeep Metya serves as an Assistant Professor in the Geotechnical Engineering Division of the Department of Civil Engineering at the National Institute of Technology, Jamshedpur. His primary research specializations encompass slope stability and landslides, geotechnical earthquake engineering, reinforced soil structures, and risk and reliability applications in civil engineering. He holds a B.Tech. (First Class First) from the West Bengal University of Technology, an M.Tech. (First Class First), and a Ph.D. from the Indian Institute of Engineering Science and Technology, Shibpur. During his Ph.D., he was awarded the INSPIRE Fellowship by the Department of Science and Technology, Government of India, and the Newton-Bhabha PhD Placement Grant for 2015-16, enabling his research stint at the Zienkiewicz Centre for Computational Engineering, Swansea University, UK.

Dr. Metya joined NIT Jamshedpur on May 21, 2018, and currently holds the position of Associate Dean (New Construction) in the Dean's Office of Planning and Development. His accolades include University Gold Medals for both B.Tech. and M.Tech., the IGS-Shri R.N. Prasad Biennial Prize (2015), and the IGS-HEICO Young Geotechnical Engineer Award (2018) from the Indian Geotechnical Society. He participated in the LARAM Class of 2014 at the University of Salerno, Italy. In terms of scholarly output, he co-authored "Geotechnical Slope Analysis, 2nd Edition" (Routledge, 2019) and edited "Advances in Geo-Science and Geo-Structures: Select Proceedings of GSGS 2020" (Springer, 2021). Notable publications include "Pseudo static stability analysis of rock slope using Patton’s shear criterion" (Geomechanics and Geoengineering, 2021), "Influence of Hydraulic Distribution Pattern on the Rock Slope Stability under Block Toppling Failure" (KSCE Journal of Civil Engineering, 2024), and "XGBoost based surrogate technique for system reliability analysis of slopes" (Scientific Reports, 2026). He has supervised two ongoing Ph.D. students, twelve M.Tech. theses, and eight B.Tech. project groups. Dr. Metya is a Life Member of the Indian Geotechnical Society, an Associate Member of the American Society of Civil Engineers, and holds AMIE from the Institution of Engineers (India).
