Biography

Amin Barari is an Associate Professor and Head of the Research Group at Aalborg University in Denmark, specializing in Civil Infrastructure Engineering and Geotechnics. He completed his PhD in Geotechnical Engineering at Aalborg University in 2012, focusing on the Characteristic Behaviour of Bucket Foundations. His research is centered on coastal offshore geotechnics, particularly on the behavior and design of offshore foundations under long-term cyclic loading, with applications to monopiles, suction caissons, and anchor foundations for deep-sea floating platforms. He investigates a range of geohazards, including seismic response, soil liquefaction, and landslides in both offshore and onshore environments. His work also addresses challenges posed by climate change, emphasizing risk assessment and the development of digital twins and physics-informed deep learning models to enhance the resilience of coastal offshore infrastructure. He has served in various esteemed positions, including as a Senior Geotechnical Engineer and Postdoctoral Researcher at renowned institutions, and has been involved in the organization of significant international conferences.
