Laboratory of Soil Mechanics

Launch Your Geotechnical Journey with LMS

Are you ready to help shape the future of sustainable geotechnical engineering? At the LMS Laboratory, part of the world-renowned Laloui Group at EPFL, we offer students the chance to engage in cutting-edge research that addresses global challenges—from energy geostructures and bio-cementation to CO₂ sequestration and nuclear waste storage.

Whether you’re an EPFL student seeking a semester project or a master’s thesis topic—or you have a bold idea of your own—you’ve come to the right place.

We regularly post new internship and student project opportunities on this page. But more than that, we actively encourage initiative: if you have a concept you’re passionate about and it aligns with our mission, let’s explore it together. Your creativity, paired with our expertise, could lead to the next breakthrough in geomechanics.

For inspiration, take a look at some of our current and past student projects and see how others have contributed to transformative research.
