Mehdi Teymouri, PhD, PE
Senior Engineer
Mehdi is a Senior Geotechnical Engineer at Shannon & Wilson. With a PhD in Civil Engineering from Texas A&M University, Mehdi's expertise lies in the area of geomechanics, considering engineering problems involving thermal, hydraulic, geochemical, and mechanical couplings. His research interests also cover the study of rock mechanics, unsaturated soils, energy geotechnics (e.g., hydrate bearing sediments, hydraulic fracturing, sand production, geothermal energy), and geoenvironmental engineering. Throughout his education and career, Mehdi has worked to diversify his experience as much as possible. His master’s work focused on marine engineering and structural design, and after graduation, this led him to a job as an offshore structural engineer for the largest Iranian marine EPCI contractor. He was also a Postdoctoral Scholar in the Hildebrand Department of Petroleum and Geosystems Engineering at the University of Texas at Austin.
