Maurice B Dusseault is a professor of Geological Engineering in the Earth and Environmental Sciences Department, University of Waterloo, Waterloo, Ontario, Canada. He spent three years as a roughneck and drilling mud technician prior to completing his BSc (1971) and PhD (1977). From 1977 to 1982, he occupied a Research Professor Chair at the University of Alberta funded by the Alberta Oil Sands Technology and Research Authority. During this period, he developed novel skills and broad experience in new production technologies and drilling rock mechanics.

I am a graduated Ph.D. from the University of Waterloo, and a research associate working with Prof. Maurice Dusseault. My research area in Geomechanics is developing Enhanced Geothermal Systems (EGS) to access a reliable, sustainable, renewable green energy in order to reduce GHG emission and help remote areas to access cheap and green energy. Currently, I am supervising one Ph.D. student, and twelve undergrads at University of Waterloo , Waterloo, Ontario, and two master students at K.N. Toosi University in Iran for their thesis.
