Welcome to Rafiei's Hydro-Geomechanical Research Labratory
Modeling to Leverage Resiliency of Geosystems
I am an Assistant Professor of Geotechnical Engineering at Louisiana State University. The goals of my research works are to investigate the fundamental behavior of soils in order to (i) build stable foundations for energy infrastrcutures and (ii) to avoid catastrophic failures of geosystems resulting from soil instabilities during extreme events such as storms and earthquakes.

Education:
