Biography/ Background
Dr Abbas Taheri has over ten years of industry, research and teaching experience in the field of mining engineering, rock mechanics and geotechnical engineering.
Abbas earned his bachelor and MSc degrees in mining engineering (1999) and rock mechanics engineering (2002) from Amir-Kabir University of Technology (Tehran Polytechnics). Since 2002, he was engaged in several mining development and civil engineering projects in Iran as a consulting engineer for more than 3 years.
In 2005 Abbas obtained a scholarship from Japan government (Monbukagakusho) and earned a Ph.D. in geotechnical engineering from Yokohama National University in 2008. As his Ph.D research work he studied on shear strength and deformability properties of rock masses. He successfully developed an in-situ triaxial testing system. Abbas's PhD research work has been awarded a runner up certificate of "Rocha Medal 2010" from International Society of Rock Mechanics (ISRM).
In 2008 he awarded a postdoctoral fellowship from Japan Society for the Promotion of Science (JSPS) and joined Tokyo University of Science. Abbas undertook a comprehensive research on properties of geomaterials using some advanced laboratory testing methods and simulation techniques. In November 2011 he joined the University of Adelaide as a lecturer.
