Mehrdad T.

A Postdoctoral Geotechnical Engineer and Senior Designer & Consultant with over 10 years of combined academic, research, design and professional experience in the delivery of utility-scale solar power plants and complex geotechnical infrastructure projects. I specialize in design-driven engineering solutions that integrate constructability, long-term performance, and cost efficiency under challenging soil and seismic conditions. I have led the civil and geotechnical design of more than 60 MW of solar power projects, including a 50 MW utility-scale plant, two 10 MW plants, and multiple smaller installations. My solar expertise covers design of site grading and slope optimization, earthworks, surface drainage systems, solar structures, cable trench infrastructure, internal roads, geotechnical reports and overall solar plant master planning, along with PVsyst-based layout optimization to enhance energy yield and constructability. Supported by a strong research background including over 30 peer-reviewed journal and conference publications, technical books, and patented innovations. I provide clients with high-level technical consultancy, design optimization, feasibility studies, and value-engineered solutions for both renewable energy and major civil infrastructure projects.
