Dr. Ali Parsa-Pajouh
Dr. Ali Parsa is a Senior Associate Geotechnical Engineer and Design Team Lead with over 20 years of experience spanning both academia and industry. He earned his PhD in Geotechnical Engineering from the University of Technology Sydney (UTS) in 2014, focusing on soft soil improvement. Ali has worked extensively in the industry, contributing to the delivery of a wide range of projects, including major infrastructure developments. His expertise covers various geotechnical disciplines, including numerical modeling, soil-structure interaction, ground improvement, deep excavation, retaining structures, slope stability, and AI applications.
As a practitioner with an academic background, Ali has been actively involved in R&D programs, collaborating with leading universities in Australia. In recognition of his contributions to industry collaboration and engagement, he has received an honorary appointment from the University of Technology Sydney (UTS). He has also published several journal and conference papers on the applications of numerical modeling in geotechnical engineering. Currently, he leads the design team at JK Geotechnics.
Ali is a member of the Australian Geomechanics Society (AGS) National Board of Directors and represents Australia on the ISSMGE Technical Committee 103 (Numerical Methods in Geomechanics).
