Research and expertise
I am a civil engineer with a strong interest in Signal Analysis, Reliability-based Optimization, and Uncertainty Quantification. Currently, I am researching the use of a combination of transformations to achieve a balance between accuracy in both the time and frequency domains for generating artificial excitations. My goal is to make contributions that advance dynamic analysis methods and the generation of stochastic-based seismic events. Additionally, I am enthusiastic about addressing optimization problems related to enhancing the resilience of systems, taking into account factors beyond cost.

Profile
I gained my Associate Diploma in Civil Engineering Technician-General Works of Building in 2014, and my Non-Continuous Bachelor's Degree in Construction Technology Engineering in 2016 from the University of Mohaghegh Ardabili, Ardabil, Iran. In 2019, I completed my Master of Science in Civil Engineering with a specialization in Earthquake Engineering at Sahand University of Technology in Tabriz, Iran. During my master's program, I developed a strong interest in Uncertainty Quantification, Sensitivity Analysis, and Surrogate Modeling, and gained insight into Experimental Design, Response Surface, Regression Analysis, and Monte Carlo Simulation.
I also collaborated in a study on optimal design for base-isolated systems considering life-cycle and initial cost, where I became familiar with the organization of optimization problems and different approaches to solving them.
