Dr. Vivi Anggraini
Monash University Malaysia
Keynote Lecture: Olivine: A sustainable approach to marine clay stabilisation and carbon capture
Dr. Anggraini obtained her Ph.D. from University Putra Malaysia in 2015. She is now a senior lecturer at Monash University Malaysia. Dr. Anggraini is also a committee member of the International Geosynthetic Society (Malaysia Chapter). Dr. Anggraini's research interests are in the areas of ground improvement, environmental geotechnics, geo-material, carbon sequestration, landfill liners, soft-soil treatment, etc. Her groundbreaking work is olivine treated marine clay to serve as a self-sealing liner material. The olivine liner also doubles function to sequester carbon dioxide emissions in landfill.
