Dr. Manafi is one of the rare experts who has spent years both in the trenches as a geotechnical consultant and at the forefront of academic research. He doesn't just teach the theory—he has applied it, tested it, and even developed new methods that are changing the industry.

As a practicing Senior Geotechnical Engineer and R&D Manager, he confronts the same real-world challenges you do. His experience isn't just academic; it's earned on project sites and in design meetings, giving him a practical perspective you won't find in a standard textbook.

This hands-on experience is backed by elite academic credentials, including a PhD in Geotechnical Engineering from the University of Adelaide (Australia), a Master of Philosophy from Trinity College Dublin (Ireland), and another Master's degree in geotechnical engineering. His advanced studies were supported by prestigious competitive full international scholarships.

But his expertise doesn't stop at applying existing knowledge. Dr. Manafi is an inventor. He is the creator of the award-winning "Manafi Method," a new soil plasticity determination test that has been recognized with multiple honors, establishing his position as a leading expert in the field.

He founded Geotech Masters™ to bridge the gap between complex theory and practical, real-world application, giving you the tools and confidence to excel in your career. When you enroll in a Geotech Masters course, you're not just learning from a teacher; you're learning from an active, award-winning industry leader.
