Hodjat Shiri

Dr. Hodjat Shiri is an Associate Professor in Civil Engineering at Memorial University of Newfoundland, holding the Wood Group Chair in Arctic and Harsh Environments. His research addresses Arctic offshore challenges, including ice-seabed interactions, subsea pipeline design, and reliability assessment. Shiri integrates machine learning with geotechnical modeling to predict iceberg impacts and pipeline performance.

Recent work explores trenching techniques, layered seabed responses, and fatigue in riser systems. Publications emphasize practical solutions for energy infrastructure in climate-sensitive regions, combining numerical simulations with field data validation.
