Biography:
Ouge completed her undergraduate studies at University of Manitoba, Canada in 2009 with a BSc in Civil Engineering. Upon graduation, she spent over a year working in KGS Group Consulting Engineers and Project Mangers as a Geotechnical Engineer, where she had the opportunity to work on diverse projects:
- Pointe du Bois Generating Station Spillway Replacement Project
- Red River Floodway Expansion Project
- Duff Roblin Provincial Park embankment and foundation design
- Assiniboine Park Redevelopment Project
- Winnipeg Folk Festival Site Redevelopment
She joint the Geotechnical Research Group at Cambridge University Engineering Department in October 2010 as a research student. She is supervised by Dr Abir Al-Tabbaa. She is a member of Wolfson College.
Departments and Institutes
Research Interests
Data mining, mapping and modelling of the performance of cement-stabilized soils
- Collection of data from a number of research-based projects worldwide involving both UCS and triaxial compression tests, performed on the same laboratory-prepared cement-treated soils
- Construction of cement-soil stabilization database
- Develop comparisons and correlations between UCS and triaxial compressive strength
- Investigate independencies between variables, as well as effects of variables on strength correlations
- Development of predictive models of cement-stabilized soils using Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs)
Other Professional Activities
