Bio
Dr. Amir Iranmanesh is a visiting assistant professor in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at Rowan University. His research interests are in applications of structural analysis, testing and health monitoring to improve the resilience of infrastructure, especially bridges and railroads. Dr. Iranmanesh, as Co-Principle Investigator is one of the recipients of a $800,052 funding from New Jersey Department of Community Affairs for a research on “Resilience Assessment of Lifeline Structures subjected to Hurricanes”. Dr. Iranmanesh has published in peer-reviewed journals such at the ASCE Journal of Bridge Engineering, Engineering Structures and Smart Structures and Systems. Dr. Iranmanesh has co-invented, “Scour sensor and method of using same” which has been patented internationally (US9010176 B2) through the Board of Trustees of The University of Illinois. Before joining Rowan University, Dr. Iranmanesh was a Clinical Assistant Professor at Washington State University. Dr. Iranmanesh was also a postdoctoral fellow at Center for Vehicle Safety and Systems (CVeSS) at Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University (Virginia Tech) working on “Design Optimization of Rail Joints using Fracture Mechanics based Finite Element Analysis”. Dr. Iranmanesh received his Ph.D. in 2012 from University of Illinois at Chicago. His Ph.D. dissertation was on development of a Hybrid Simulation based method for Post- Earthquake Structural Health Monitoring of Concrete Bridges. Dr. Iranmanesh’s research has been funded by Illinois Department of transportation (IDOT), American Association of Railroads-Transportation Technology Center, Inc (AAR-TTCI) and National Science Foundation (NSF). Dr. Iranmanesh has also been teaching for three (3) years a variety of courses in structural mechanics and design including Advanced Steel Design, Analysis and Design of Steel Frames, Structural Analysis, Mechanics of Materials and Statics as well as Senior, Junior and Sophomore Clinics.
