Emeritus Professor Hamid Nikraz
Over the past many years of involvement in research at Curtin University, he has made efforts to attract the highest quality students to achieve strategic R&D initiatives. This currently includes leading 10 research teams with a total of 74 research students and fellows. His research interests span soil stabilisation, pavement design and construction and waste management. His efforts have directly contributed to the pre-eminent research profile of the Department of Civil Engineering at Curtin University in these areas, attracting national and international collaborators from both academia and industry. His research has directly led to initiation of civil engineering projects totalling almost $3.5M. He has received support from the Western Australian Mining and Petroleum Research Institute (WAMPRI), the Cooperative Research Centre for Coal in Sustainable Development (CCSD), the Centre for Sustainable Resource Processing (CSRP) and the WA Innovation Scheme (WAISS). This is in addition to establishing a network of industrial sponsors such as Main Roads, Alcoa, Boral and Rocla. His successful grant applications are over $5.5M.
