Dr. Jijo James was born in Kayamkulam, in Alleppey District of Kerala, India, in 1984. He did his entire schooling in Kendriya Vidyalaya, Ashok Nagar, Chennai and passed out in the year 2002 and was adjudged the best outgoing student (boys) for that year. He did his Bachelor’s Degree in Civil Engineering at Tagore Engineering College, affiliated to Anna University, Chennai and passed out in 2006 securing the university third rank. Thereafter, he pursued his Master’s Degree in Soil Mechanics and Foundation Engineering from College of Engineering Guindy, Anna University, which he obtained in the year 2008, while securing the university second rank. He immediately joined Tagore Engineering College in the same year as Lecturer in Civil Engineering and was promoted to Assistant Professor in the year 2010. He obtained his Doctoral degree in the Faculty of Civil Engineering from Anna University, by successfully defending his thesis titled “Strength, Mineralogy and Microstructure of a Lime Stabilized Expansive Soil Amended with Waste Materials” in March 2017. He is a recognized supervisor for guiding doctoral research scholars under Anna University. He has authored/co-authored more than 50 papers in peer-reviewed international journals and various conferences. He has reviewed for several international journals like Journal of Solid Waste Technology and Management, International Journal of Pavement Research and Technology, The Open Civil Engineering Journal, Environment, Development and Sustainability, Canadian Journal of Soil Science, Journal of Rock Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering, Indian Journal of Science and Technology, Frontiers of Earth Science, Marine Georesources and Geotechnology published by reputed publishers like Elsevier, Springer, Taylor and Francis and NRC Publishers. He has also shouldered responsibilities at various levels in organizing seminars, workshops and conferences at national and international level for his institution of work. He has presented invited lectures for institutions like the Regional Training Institute of Central Public Works Department, Govt. of India, SRM Valliammai Engineering College and M.G.R. University. He is currently pursuing his research ambition of effective utilization of solid wastes in cost effective soil based Civil Engineering materials in addition to his teaching assignments.
