We extend our heartfelt congratulations to Selahattin Akdag on his appointment as a Mining Engineering Lecturer at the WA School of Mines: Minerals, Energy and Chemical Engineering. Welcome to our School!
We are delighted to welcome Dr Selahattin Akdag (Sela) to our School as a lecturer in our Mining Engineering discipline. Sela earned his PhD in 2019 from the University of Adelaide (UoA) as part of an ARC-Linkage Project. Following this, he worked as a postdoctoral researcher at the Australian Centre for Geomechanics at The University of Western Australia, contributing to a strain burst project funded by the Minerals Research Institute of Western Australia (MRIWA). In 2020, Sela returned to UoA as a postdoctoral researcher, where he focused on an ACARP-funded coal burst project. Most recently, he was a postdoctoral researcher at the School of Minerals and Energy Resources Engineering at UNSW Sydney, working on a CRC-P ground support reinforcement project. Sela brings extensive expertise in rock mechanics, experimental and computational geomechanics, and fracture mechanics. His research focuses on rock and coal burst, ground control engineering, and in-situ stress measurement methods. We look forward to Sela’s contributions to our research and teaching initiatives here at WASM: MECE. #WASMMECE #WASM #WASchoolofMines #CurtinUniversity #Curtin #miningengineering #engineering #research #teaching #learning #education #innovation | Curtin University
