Watch IGS Young Member and Assistant Professor Ness Di Battista share her path to civil and geotechnical engineering.
Prof. Di Battista, of the Université de Sherbrooke in Quebec, Canada, is the latest in our '10 Minutes With…' video series, a spin-off to our '10 Questions With…' articles that offer an insight into the working lives of geosynthetics professionals.
In our latest video, Prof. Di Battista explains her work specialising in barrier containment systems, current projects and when she first heard about geosynthetics.
She also shares her experience as a female engineer in a male dominated industry and the impact mentors have had in her development. She offers advice to young engineers and explains the value of being an IGS Young Member and the importance of nurturing this community.
