Behshad Jodeiri Shokri

Dr Behshad Jodeiri Shokri is a researcher at the Centre for Future Materials at the University of Southern Queensland (UNISQ). With degrees in Mining Engineering (BMineExEng, MMineExEng) from Shahrood University and a PhD from USQ, his work bridges mining and environmental engineering.

• Research Focus: Acid mine drainage (AMD) prediction, rock bolt systems, machine learning applications in mining, sustainable practices, and groundwater contamination.
• Recent Work Highlights: Development of empirical-analytical AMD models, numerical simulation of rock bolt mechanics, and data-driven XGBoost/ensemble techniques for mine safety.
• Collaborations: Projects with BHP Group Limited and ACARP (34018 Carbolt™ prototype).

Notable Trends: Interdisciplinary use of machine learning for geotechnical challenges and innovative solutions for mine safety and sustainability.

Labs/Teams: Affiliated with the Centre for Future Materials, focusing on research-driven environmental and geotechnical solutions.
