About

Ph.D. Candidate in Civil Engineering with primary research interests in Geotechnical and Geoenvironmental Engineering, particularly tunneling, underground space engineering, and soil–structure interaction. My M.Sc. thesis, entitled “Three-Dimensional Face Stability Analysis of Deep and Shallow Tunnels in Rock/Soil Masses by Innovating New Failure Mechanisms”, focused on advanced analytical and numerical investigations of tunnel face stability under various ground conditions. In parallel with my academic career, I have extensive experience in the design and manufacturing of concrete formwork systems for tunnels, dams, and underground structures. I am the inventor of several officially registered formwork systems in Iran, including: • A Lightweight Sliding Structural System for Top-Down Construction of Concrete Slabs (Flat Slabs or Two-Way Slabs with Drop Beams), Suspended and Operated without the Need for Bottom Supporting Members (Patent Registration No. 110007, 22 October 2023 – Iran) • Concrete Slab Formwork System, including an innovative table–tower system dismantled 1.2 m below the finished slab (Patent Registration No. 63948, 13 March 2010 – Iran) • Highway Tunnel Lining Formwork System (Patent Registration No. 50171, 09 July 2008 – Iran) • Metro (Underground) Main Tunnel Lining Formwork System (Patent Registration No. 50146, 09 July 2008 – Iran) • Metro (Underground) Station Tunnel Lining Formwork System (Patent Registration No. 50145, 09 July 2008 – Iran) My research interests include mechanized tunneling, soil–structure interaction, numerical modeling, underground infrastructure, and sustainable geotechnical design. I am actively interested in academic collaborations and postdoctoral research opportunities in geotechnical and underground engineering.
