Zulfiqar Ali
School of Chemical Engineering
Faculty of Sciences, Engineering and Technology
I have more than six years of research experience in mining geomechanics. I work in the areas of ground control, in-situ stress measurement, and destressing techniques for rock burst management. Currently, my research focuses on stress memory in rocks and in-situ stress measurement from oriented cored rocks. My goal is to develop a cost-effective method for in-situ stress measurement that can be reliably applied to cored rocks in the laboratory.
Besides, I am always looking for new challenges and opportunities to expand my knowledge and skills in the field. I am excited to be part of a dynamic and innovative team of researchers, and I am eager to contribute to the advancement of the field through my research, teaching, and experience in the field.
I am open to collaboration and networking with professionals and researchers in the field of mining, tunneling, and geotechnical engineering.
