Ali Lashkari

Ph.D. in Civil Engineering, Tehran University (March 2007)

Teaching Interests

My teaching interests are mainly related to my research activities including the theoretical aspects of soil mechanics in both under graduate and graduate levels:

• Soil Mechanics (under graduate)
• Mechanics of Materials (under graduate)
• Foundation Engineering (under graduate)
• Earthquake Engineering (under graduate)

• Advance Soil Mechanics (graduate)
• Soil Dynamics & Earthquake Engineering (graduate)
• Continuum Mechanics and Plasticity in Geomechanics (graduate)
• Micromechanics (graduate)

Research Interests

• Soil Constitutive Modeling (in particular: effect of state on soil behavior, influence of inherent and induced anisotropy on soil response, shear banding, coupled hyperelasticity, non-coaxial behavior of granular soils)
• Constitutive Modeling of Soil-Structure Interface Behavior
• Soil Liquefaction
• Application of Micromechanics and Discrete Element Method in Soil Mechanics
• Application of Thermodynamics in Geomechanics
• Unsaturated Soil Mechanics
