• Asperity degradation of rock joints under different loading conditions – Ph.D. thesis (Universite de Sherbrooke & HydroQuebec)• Developed a MATLAB code to calculate contact area, damaged area and aperture during a natural rock joint shear test. • Developed a mobile in-situ set up and in-lab apparatus for large-scale shear test (up to 1m by 1m).• Performed the various geotechnical tests including shear test, Brazilian test, nondestructive (AE) measurement, triaxial and uniaxial tests.

• Gathered geotechnical data including joint survey, logging and sampling and oversaw lab tests.• Performed slope stability analysis in rock and soil with considering water effects using FLAC and Phase2. Then recommended remediation for unstable areas.• Chose tunneling method regarding to in-situ conditions and designed tunnels support system by combination of empirical, equilibrium and numerical modeling methods.• Optimized Mine to Mill process in several operations by optimizing blast fragmentation.• Established effective communication with clients and other parties to meet the project scope of work.

• Evaluated slops and tunnels instabilities and designed support system by combination of empirical, equilibrium and numerical (FLAC) modeling methods. • Oversaw the geotechnical program including geotechnical drilling and in-situ testing.• Installed geotechnical instrumentation including extensometers, convergence pins, strain gauges and anchor load cells.• Geotechnical instrumentation monitoring, data collection and uploading into the database.
