About

I am a dedicated Ph.D. research assistant in Civil Engineering at the University of Alberta, conducting groundbreaking research in Smart Infrastructure TEchnologies lab (SITE). My research focuses on utilizing mobile sensor data from crossing vehicles to develop smart monitoring systems for bridge structures. My research interests include computer vision, machine learning, and metaheuristic optimization methods, all aimed at improving the safety and performance of structures.

Throughout my academic journey, I have consistently demonstrated a passion for structural engineering and the application of innovative technologies. Graduating as a first-rank student in Civil Engineering at Amirkabir University of Technology in Iran, I received a silver medal in the National Olympiad of Civil Engineering from NOET. In pursuit of my passion, I obtained my master's degree in Structural and Earthquake Engineering at Sharif University of Technology (SUT) in Iran, where I developed cutting-edge methods for semiactive control of structures under earthquake excitations.

In addition to my academic achievements, I have also worked as a professional structural engineer for a leading consulting engineering firm in Iran for over three years. In this role, I was responsible for designing and analyzing various types of structures, including conventional buildings, industrial structures, and Underground Subway Stations. This experience has allowed me to gain a practical understanding of the challenges and complexities of real-world engineering projects.
