Biography

A/Prof Ali Mirzaghorbanali started his research career more than a decade ago in leading and reputable Australian Universities in WA and NSW and in close collaboration with industry. Ali has conducted his Post-Doctoral fellowship in Rock Bolting and Strata Control research group at the School of Civil, Mining and Environmental Engineering, University of Wollongong under supervision of Professor Naj Aziz. Ali's research studies cover a wide range of applications in Civil and Mining Geomechanics as: Shear behaviour of rock joints and discontinuities, Resin and grout mechanical properties determination for strata reinforcement, Axial load transfer mechanisms of rock bolts, Shear load transfer mechanisms of rock bolts, Axial load transfer mechanisms of cable bolts, Shear load transfer mechanisms of cable bolts, and Fibre glass bolt load transfer mechanisms. Ali is currently a member of Centre for Future Material at the University of Southern Queensland, focusing on cutting edge research studies in the field of Geotechnical Engineering in collaboration with industry. Ali has been successful in attracting research grant of more than $4.4 m in the recent years.
