Full Name: Musin Aibek Abdukalikovich
Academic Degree: Doctor of Philosophy (PhD)
Position: Acting Associate Professor
Born on March 15, 1991, in Karazhal, Ulytau Region.
Graduated from Karaganda State Technical University in 2012 with a degree in “Mining Engineering.”
From 2014 to 2016, he worked as a mining master in the drilling and blasting department at Kaz Minerals.
From 2016 to 2018, he worked as a geotechnical engineer at Kazakhmys Corporation LLP, Abyz Mine.
From 2018 to 2021, he held the position of geomechanics specialist at JSC “AK Altynalmas,” Akbakai Project.
Since 2021, he has been working as a senior lecturer at the Department of “Mineral Deposit Development” at Abylkas Saginov Karaganda Technical University.
On June 30, 2022, he defended his dissertation on the topic “Geomechanical Justification of Mining Parameters for Ore Dilution Management in the Development of Low-Power Deposits.” By the order of the Chairman of the Committee for Quality Assurance in Science and Higher Education of the Ministry of Science and Higher Education of the Republic of Kazakhstan No. 31 dated October 14, 2022, he was awarded the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) in the specialty 6D070700 – “Mining Engineering.”
Main research areas include the development of technological regulations for calculating the parameters of stoping chambers and pillars, the reinforcement of horizontal mine workings, the optimization of technological processes in the extraction of low-power ore bodies, as well as studying various factors affecting mining efficiency and developing recommendations for improving the stability of mining structures. He has scientific, technical, and industrial experience in geotechnical research and in substantiating the optimal parameters of drilling and blasting operations for low-power deposits. He also has experience in modeling the stress-strain state of a rock mass based on numerical analysis using internationally recognized ISRM standards.
