Professor Hassan Karampour

School of Engineering
Griffith University, Brisbane, Australia

Biography and Research Expertise:
Dr Hassan Karampour holds a PhD in structural engineering from the University of Queensland, Australia, Master's Degree in structural engineering from National University of Malaysia and Bachelor of Civil Engineering from Shiraz University in Iran. He has worked as structural design engineer for more than 6 years in Iran and Australia, delivering variety of engineering consultancy analyses and services. His research interests lie in area of applied mechanics with a focus on steel structures.

In his Master's research Dr Karampour utilised finite element method and finite difference method to study lateral-torsional buckling of steel beams with web openings. During his PhD research, he investigated major buckling problems namely; lateral buckling, upheaval buckling, propagation buckling and buckle interaction in deep sub-sea pipelines using analytical, experimental and numerical methods. He helped develop a new concept; “textured pipe” suitable for HP/HT ultra-deep subsea pipelines.

Dr Karampour aims to pursue research in innovative, optimal, safe and sustainable design of engineering structures, addressing new challenges in field of structural engineering.
• Computational and Applied Mechanics
• Numerical Methods (Finite Element Method and Finite Difference Method)
• Stability of Structures
• Buckling of thin-walled structures, plates and shells
• Structural integrity of sub-sea pipelines and risers
