Had Nourizadeh holds a BEng, MEng, and a PhD in Mining and Geotechnical Engineering. Following the completion of his doctoral studies, he embarked on a Postdoctoral Fellowship at the Centre for Future Materials (CFM), University of Southern Queensland. Within the realm of ground support engineering projects, his primary focus has honed in on ground control systems, specifically specializing in rock bolts and cable bolts. Dr. Nourizadeh's research revolves around a deep understanding of the axial and shear transfer mechanisms inherent in reinforcing elements, even under diverse geotechnical and thermal conditions. In addition to studying these transfer mechanisms, he actively explores and develops engineered bonding materials, such as cementitious grouts and polyester resins. The overarching objective is to optimize the performance of these bonding materials, ensuring their efficacy in real-world applications. A highly successful, award-winning, and prolific researcher, Dr. Nourizadeh boasts a publication record of over 30 technical papers in leading and high-ranking journals, as well as international conferences. His expertise lies in the specialized fields of coal mining, resource mining, and geotechnical engineering. Prior to his current role, Dr. Nourizadeh served as a Lecturer at Sahand University of Technology from 2011 to 2018.
