Dr Miad Saberi

Miad earned his PhD in Civil Engineering from Laval University in Canada, specialising in geotechnical engineering and computational mechanics. Prior to joining the University of Oxford, he worked in the engineering consulting industry as an analyst and designer, contributing to major international projects involving tunnels, embankment dams, pipelines, and critical lifeline infrastructure.

Since 2020, he has also served as an Adjunct Professor in the Department of Civil Engineering at Laval University, where he contributes to collaborative research in soil-structure interaction and numerical modelling.

Miad’s research interests lie in computational geomechanics, offshore renewable energy, soil-structure interaction, and advanced numerical modelling. He is currently developing novel design and analysis approaches for the foundations of offshore renewable energy structures, with a particular focus on monopile and jacket foundations subjected to monotonic and cyclic loading. His work spans theoretical analysis, high-fidelity numerical modelling, and the development and implementation of advanced constitutive models for the simulation of engineering materials.

Miad contributes to undergraduate teaching at St Edmund Hall, focusing on engineering materials, including Statics, Materials and Solid Mechanics, and Dynamics.
