Hamed Ebrahimian joined the University of Nevada, Reno in July 2019 as an assistant professor. Prior to joining the University, he was a senior professional engineer in industry from 2017 to 2019, during which his work was partly focused on developing a novel technology solution for monitoring and damage diagnosis of aging bridges.
For about two years before that, Hamed was working as a postdoctoral scholar at the California Institute of Technology (Caltech), where he expanded the application of his research in geotechnical engineering and seismology fields. His Ph.D. is in structural engineering, from UC San Diego, and his two master’s degrees are in mechanical engineering (dynamic systems and control) and structural engineering. Before attending UC San Diego, he was serving as a structural engineering consultant and an academic lecturer since 2005.
Hamed’s technical background and expertise is in four fields:
Bayesian inference method for estimation, identification, and model updating,
Structural health monitoring and damage diagnosis,
Computational structural and geotechnical mechanics, and
Large-scale structural experiment and behavior study.
Hamed’s research is mainly focused on the integration of physics-based computational models with sensory data for monitoring, diagnosis, and prognosis of civil and mechanical systems in operational conditions and after extreme events. A numerical model trained with data is sometimes referred to as a digital twin of the real asset, which can be utilized in several industries to solve challenging remote diagnosis problems. Hamed’s research objective is to develop technology solutions to embed intelligence into operational management and disaster preparation, response, and recovery process for infrastructure systems and communities.
