About Mehdi

Dr. Mehdi Serati serves as Senior Lecturer, Director of Research, and Advance Queensland Industry Research Fellow in the School of Civil Engineering at the University of Queensland. He completed his PhD in Geotechnical Engineering at the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO) through the University of Queensland in Brisbane, Australia, focusing on the stiffness and strength of rock cutting and drilling tools such as drag bit and roller disc cutters. Throughout his career at UQ, Serati has held key roles advancing geotechnical engineering research. He is the Deputy Manager of the internationally recognized Large Open Pit (LOP) Project, a collaboration funded by mining companies worldwide, including Large Open Pit IV (2024-2028, Vale SA) and Large Open Pit III (2019-2024, Fortescue Metals Group Limited). This project addresses critical gaps in understanding rock slope failures and landslides in large open pit mines, contributing significantly to the mining industry's safety and stability assessments.
