Dr

Behrooz Ghahremannejad

 

Dr Ghahreman-Nejad has worked for a number of firms in Australia and abroad and has over 27 years of experience working on a broad range of projects in the civil, geotechnical and mining engineering fields with significant emphasis on the geotechnical and water management aspects of tailings and water retaining dams.
Behrooz is currently a Senior Principal and Chief Technical Officer at ATC Williams, a global engineering consultancy in the area of mine tailings and water management.

He has been responsible for management, investigation, analysis and design of a number of large embankment dams and tailings storage facilities throughout Australia and abroad.
As an Honorary Senior Fellow at the Department of Infrastructure Engineering, Behrooz has been involved in teaching and research in geotechnical engineering of embankment dams since 2007.
