Dr Mehran Barani Shikhrobat

I am Dr Mehran Shikhrobat, a lecturer in MSc Project Management at the London Campus of the University of the West of Scotland. As the module coordinator for Sustainability & Organisational Strategies, I oversee the content and delivery of this module but teach other modules such as Project Management Fundamentals, Change Management and Leadership, Projects in Practice and Project Risk Management.

My academic qualifications include a PhD in Construction Management and Engineering from the University of Reading, an MSc in Strategic Project Management from Leeds Beckett University, and a BSc in Industrial Engineering.

With over 15 years of experience in the project management industry, I have worked in various roles such as project planner, project coordinator, and project manager. Since 2003, I have been actively involved in teaching project management courses at different institutes including the University of Reading, the Global Banking School (Bath Spa University), and the University of the West of Scotland. I have taught a range of modules related to construction project management and project management courses.

In addition to teaching, I also supervise dissertations for MSc Projects. My research interests primarily revolve around project complexity modelling using system dynamics. I am passionate about exploring and understanding the complexities of project management.

Above all, I am deeply committed to making a positive impact on individuals’ lives through education. This is why I find Higher Education to be the perfect environment for me to contribute and help others thrive.
