Ali Haidar

Geotechnical Engineer

Dr. Haidar, a geotechnical engineer at ITASCA France, specialized in numerical modeling and studies of geotechnical projects within ITASCA’s civil engineering team. He holds an engineering degree in Civil Engineering, a master's degree in Hydraulics and Civil Engineering, and a PhD in Geotechnical Engineering. His doctoral project focused on the mechanical behavior of rockfill dams with dry-stone pitching, employing a mixed FDM-DEM approach by coupling FLAC3D and PFC3D software.
