Education
B.Sc. in Mining Engineering, Isfahan University of Technology, Iran, 1993.
M.Sc. in Mining Engineering, Amirkabir University of Technology, Iran, 1996.
PhD in Rock Mechanics, Kumamoto University, Japan, 2005.
B.Sc. Project Title: Estimation of the Stability of Rock Slopes and Characterize of Different Modes of Failure in Goushfil Open Pit Mine.
M.Sc. Thesis Title: Analysis of Rock Slope Stability using Finite Element Method (FEM) with Emphasis to Wedge Failure.
Ph.D. Thesis Title: Evaluation of Rock Mass Deformability by Means of In Situ Loading Tests (new development to measure the deformation modulus of rock mass in field).
Faramarzi in 2018 developed a new laboratory automatic drilling machine and it is very interesting for research works in different rock types, in complex rock formations and for research works in field of petroleum geomechanics. This drilling machine has ability to measure specific energy.
