Maghsoudloo, A.

Profile Summary

Arash is a PhD researcher in the Geo-Engineering section of CITG department at TU Delft. His current research area is investigation of the failure mechanism of submarine slopes in very loose granular materials. Main focus of his research is static liquefaction induced slides and their triggering factors and investigation of static liquefaction mitigation methods and scour protection systems in under-water slopes.

Background

Arash received his B.Sc. degree in Civil Engineering from Iran university of Science and Technology in Iran and his M.Sc. degree in Geotechnical Engineering from Middle East Technical University in Turkey. After graduation, he worked as a geotechnical engineer in a company in Turkey. One year later, he decided to go back to academia and moved to Iowa State University in USA and served as Teaching and Research Assistant in the Department of Civil, Construction and Environmental Engineering for about two years. In January 2016, Arash moved to TU Delft to pursue his PhD studies under supervision of Prof. M.A. Hicks and Dr. A. Askarinejad.
