Ahmad Shakibaeinia

Ahmad Shakibaeinia is a Full Professor at the Department of Civil, Geological and Mining Engineering in Polytechnique Montréal, holding the Tier 2 Canada Research Chair in Digital Hydrosystems. He serves as a researcher in the Experimental and Digital Water Flow Engineering Group (GENIE EAU) and is affiliated with the Interuniversity Study Center for Structures under Extreme Loads (CEISCE).

• Research Domains: Computational fluid mechanics, multiphase flows, granular flow dynamics, cold-region hydraulics, fluvial mechanics
• Methodologies: Specializing in mesh-free particle methods (SPH, MPS) for simulating complex hydro-environmental flows

His work focuses on multi-physics hydro-environmental flows involving water-air-sediment-ice interactions, with applications in flood risk assessment, tailings dam breach modeling, and cold-region river dynamics. Recent publications demonstrate expertise in floating breakwater systems, microbial risk assessment, and ice-structure interaction simulations.

Key scientific contributions include:

• Developing enhanced weakly-compressible MPS/SPH methods for free-surface and granular flows
• Pioneering fully Lagrangian DEM-MPS models for ice-wave dynamics
• Creating integrated numerical frameworks for cold-region water quality assessment

He has supervised 12 graduate students (3 PhD, 9 Master's) and secured multiple NSERC Alliance Grants for projects on climate change impacts and critical infrastructure vulnerability. His 74 publications span topics from sediment transport to particle method development, with significant contributions to oil sands tailings dam failure and transboundary river pollution understanding.
