Dr. Hossein Agheshlui received his BSc degree in Civil Engineering and MSc degree in Marine Structures Engineering from KNT University of Technology, Tehran, Iran. He completed his PhD in Structural Engineering in 2014 from The University of Melbourne, Australia during which he focused on the development of a novel structural connection for use in concrete structures, focusing on studying concrete behaviour under complex stress states involving damaged plasticity constitutive models and concrete cracking and crushing. He has several years of industry experience in oil and gas, infrastructure and building sectors. His interest in continuum mechanics motivated him to investigate more complex problems of subsurface engineering involving fractured rocks including fluid flow through fractures as a research fellow at The University of Melbourne. He also has lectured structural engineering subjects at that university for a few years. His main research areas include continuum mechanics, nonlinear finite element modelling, subsurface geomechanics, and steel-concrete composite structures. He has published several papers in the top of the field journals and has presented in international conferences in these areas.
