about me

Consultant • Researcher • Educator • Hobby Painter

I earned my B.Sc. in Civil Engineering from Iran University of Science and Technology (IUST) in Tehran (2001). I hold my M.Sc. (2007) and Dr.-Ing (2012) both in Informatics in Civil Engineering from Technische Universität Darmstadt (TUDa), in Germany. I worked from November 2007 to November 2012 as a Scientific Employee at the Institute for Numerical Methods and Informatics in Civil Engineering at TUDa. Since November 2013, I am working for the University of British Columbia (UBC) in Vancouver as a postdoctoral fellow at the Department of Civil Engineering (personal webpage @UBC).
