Dr. Dahal has over 18 years of experience in geotechnical engineering and infrastructure development, with a diverse background spanning academia, research, and professional practice. Early in his career, he spent six years working on rural infrastructure projects in the remote areas of the Nepal Himalayas, focusing on roads, irrigation systems, buildings, and water supply networks. This hands-on experience laid a strong foundation in addressing the practical challenges of engineering in such demanding environments.

For the past 12 years, Dr. Dahal has been actively involved in teaching, mentoring, and supervising research at both undergraduate and graduate levels, while also contributing as a geotechnical expert to various engineering projects. His expertise includes geotechnical investigations, foundation design, slope stability analysis, and support systems for deep excavations. He has extensive experience in designing and implementing slope stabilization measures, soil parameter analysis, ground improvement techniques, and foundation solutions for buildings and bridges.

In addition to his academic role, Dr. Dahal leads curriculum development initiatives at the Institute of Engineering, ensuring that cutting-edge research and industry practices are integrated into engineering education.
