Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolRoozbeh Mikola is a geotechnical engineering lead with a PhD from UC Berkeley and over a decade of experience designing tunnels, retaining and basement structures, and earthquake-resilient underground works. He blends field expertise—installing and analyzing rock-stress and displacement instrumentation—with advanced numerical modeling using DDA, DEM and FEM to simulate complex ground behavior. His career spans consulting and research roles at Delve Underground, WSP, and McMillen Jacobs, where he translated theory into practical designs and construction-aware solutions. Roozbeh also builds free geotechnical tools and has hands-on Geo-Centrifuge testing experience, reflecting a rare mix of computational rigor and experimental insight. Known for questioning needless complexity ("If It's Complicated, It's Probably Wrong"), he focuses on pragmatic, verifiable engineering for challenging subsurface projects.
