• In this position, funded by the #TUM in the framework of the #TUFF fellowship, I dealt with the seismic risk assessment of masonry buildings due to Geothermal Power Plant (GPP) activities. The main parts of this.
• Gathering event and ground motion data of the induced earthquakes by geothermal power plants.
• Developing a probabilistic model for simulating the earthquake events that occurred due to the GPP activity.
• Developing ground motion model for the signals recorded in the field due to the GPP activity.
• Developing fragility and comfortability curves for the masonry buildings due to the GPP-induced earthquakes.
• Evaluate the seismic risk of a masonry building due to GPP-induced earthquakes by considering both building damage and its occupants' comfort disruption.

TCI twin tower project is one of the iconic construction projects in Iran consists of two 36-stroy towers equipped with rotational friction dampers. In this position, I served as the highest level advisor of the client for designing, procuring, and installing the structural system and rotational friction dampers in the buildings.

Tehran, Iran

In this position, the main target was to research and implementation of new Structural Vibration Control systems, especially the 3D spring isolators and 3D viscous dampers, in the construction projects as a new seismic protection technology. In addition, I collaborated in the design process of several tower buildings equipped with friction dampers.

#27- Khaghani Avenue- Shariati Street- Tehran- Iran

My tasks in this position include the structural design of new buildings, budget planning of the new construction projects, and quality control of the ongoing construction of residential and commercial projects.

Jahan Koodak Intersection, Vanak Sq, Tehran, Iran

As a junior structural engineer, I collaborated in the design process of office buildings oil plant, indoor multi-purpose sports stadium, and industrial structures, and Gardeshgary tower with friction dampers.

In this position, I worked as a site engineer in a 5 story commercial complex in Tehran with an area of 11000 m2. This building also is working as "Darvaze Shemiran" subway station. So, it is located on top of the subway train pass. There were several challenges for the excavation, stabilizing the subway lane below the building, constructing the structure.
