معرفی
Dr. Mojtaba Rajabi is a Senior Lecturer at the School of the Environment, Faculty of Science, University of Queensland. With over 15 years of expertise in crustal stress analysis and geomechanics, he focuses on subsurface energy storage (CO₂/hydrogen), tectonic stress patterns, and AI applications in geosciences. He holds a Ph.D. in Earth Sciences from the University of Adelaide (2017) and serves as Deputy-Head of the World Stress Map project.
Research Interests: Dr. Rajabi's work spans geomechanics of geo-storage, structural geology, neotectonic stress analyses, and machine learning. His research aims to develop sustainable subsurface solutions for energy transition, including safe CO₂ sequestration and hydrogen storage.
Publications: His recent articles emphasize high-resolution stress mapping, geomechanical modeling, and fracture network analysis in sedimentary basins. Trends include integrating machine learning with geological data and advancing methodologies for subsurface storage safety.
Awards:
- ARC-DECRA Award
- EAGE Louis Cagniard Award

- Royal Society of South Australia's H.G. Andrewartha Medal
- International Lithosphere Program’s Flinn-Hart Award
Supervision & Grants: Dr. Rajabi mentors PhD students in geomechanics and subsurface characterization. He leads ARC-funded projects, including Multiscale geomechanical modelling of basin-scale CO2 storage (2024–2027) and The Australian tectonic stress state (2020–2025).
Labs & Teams: He collaborates with the World Stress Map consortium and oversees projects on stress database standardization and basin-scale modeling.
