Biography
Hamed Sadeghi is an Associate Professor of Civil and Environmental Engineering at Sharif University of Technology (SUT). He serves as the Dean of International Affairs and coordinator of the SUT–HKUST Dual-Degree PhD Program, of which he was the first graduate. He earned all his academic degrees with notable educational and research distinctions recognized by Iran’s National Elites Foundation.
He is the Director of the Geotechnical Group and the Founding Director of the Green Geotechnology Laboratory, a new academic infrastructure in civil and environmental engineering established to facilitate advanced research on sustainable development and urban greenery. Over the past three decades, he has received numerous scientific and cultural awards and honors, including the KANS Honorary Diploma, recognition as a Distinguished University Research Scholar, the “Dr. Kazemi-Ashtiani” Prize in recognition of nationally distinguished young research assistant professors, the SUT Distinguished University Student Award, and the Best PhD Thesis Award in Civil and Environmental Engineering.
With approximately 130 published research articles, he has served as the Immediate Past Chair of both the Iran InterPore Chapter and Technical Committee 106 (Unsaturated Soils) of the Iranian Geotechnical Society. He has also had the honor of recruiting and supervising more than 60 elite students as research or teaching assistants.
His research team primarily focuses on advancing knowledge of the complex interactions among soil, solutes, the atmosphere, plants, and bacteria within a multidisciplinary framework. This work is pursued through the development of innovative laboratory devices, rigorous characterization, theoretical modeling, and numerical simulation.
