Marco started his Ph.D. in 2021, under the supervision of prof. Jean Côté and the co-supervisionn of prof. Jean-Marie Konrad, to study internal erosion by suffusion of Quebec tills. Previously, he worked in the management of geotechnical projects of dams in northern Brazil. Marco obtained his bachelor's degree in civil engineering from the Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul (Brazil) in 2016, with an exchange program at the University of Florence (Italy). He holds a master's degree from the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro (Brazil) on the rheological behavior of soft clays. |

In the year 2012, Jahanpour completed his undergraduate studies in civil engineering and pursued his master's education in geotechnical engineering at Yasoui University, Iran. He investigated the subsurface water-table and effects of drainage in porous media as his master project. Also, he worked on machine learning methods for solving the problem of groundwater in cooperation with Shiraz University, Iran. Jahanpour began his Ph.D. studies in 2021 and he is supervised by Professor Jean Côté. As his doctoral research, he is studying the safety monitoring of embankment dams. He is using geostatistics and numerical techniques to address internal erosion in pactical problems.. |
