Staff profile

Hassan (Milad) is a Marie Skłodowska-Curie Postdoctoral Fellow under the “META-NOVIB: Digital twin for ground-borne railway-induced NOise and VIBration control with METAmaterials in underground tunnels” Fellowship in the Department of Engineering at Durham University. He obtained his Master’s degree in Railway Engineering from the Iran University of Science and Technology in 2017, where he also worked as a research assistant for more than two years. In 2018, he joined the Acoustical and Mechanical Engineering Laboratory at the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya (UPC), Spain, as a research assistant. He completed his PhD at UPC in 2022, focusing on advanced 2.5D meshless methodologies for soil–structure interaction problems in elastodynamics. In 2021, he was a visiting researcher at the Faculty of Civil Engineering at the University of Coimbra, Portugal. Following the completion of his PhD, he remained at UPC as a research associate for two years, where he conducted numerical studies on soil–structure interaction problems. In 2024, he was awarded the prestigious Marie Skłodowska-Curie Postdoctoral Fellowship at the Department of Civil Engineering at the University of Birmingham. In 2025, he joined the Department of Engineering at Durham University as a Marie Skłodowska-Curie Postdoctoral Fellow.
