Dr. Creaghan Eddey

Creaghan Eddey is a geotechnical engineering researcher whose work centers on the micromechanical characterization of granular soils. Affiliated with an academic environment focused on soil mechanics and ground engineering, Eddey contributes to advancing experimental methods that clarify how particle-scale features influence macroscopic soil behavior.

Research focuses on the three-dimensional assessment of sand particle form and angularity, particularly through accessible optical techniques. A notable contribution involves adapting focus variation microscopy within a conventional compound microscope to quantify particle height and morphology, enabling detailed shape analysis without specialized equipment.

Findings highlight significant variability in particle form within narrow size ranges and clarify the relationship between form and angularity metrics such as ellipseness. This work strengthens understanding of how particle geometry affects mechanical response in soils. The profile is based on limited available publications at present.
