Hamid holds a BSc in Civil Engineering, as well as an MSc and a PhD in Structural Engineering from the University of Tehran. His research focuses on seismic resilience, finite element modelling, fatigue analysis, and the application of smart materials and additive manufacturing technologies within civil engineering. His PhD studies centred on the fatigue strengthening of damaged steel components using wire and arc additive manufacturing (WAAM), supported by advanced thermo-mechanical simulations and experimental validation. During his PhD, Hamid also served as a visiting researcher at the Institute for Steel Construction at Leibniz University Hannover, Germany, and collaborated with the Sustainable Metallic Structures (SUMS) group at Empa, Switzerland. He successfully defended his PhD in late 2024 and is presently a post-doctoral fellow at the University of À¶Ý®ÊÓƵ, supervised by Prof. Scott Walbridge. He is contributing to industry-funded projects supported by the Canadian Standards Association (CSA) and the Canadian Institute of Steel Construction (CISC), focusing on weld assessment and fatigue performance of aluminum and steel joints. His ongoing research includes advanced finite element analysis of the fatigue behaviour of gas metal arc additively manufactured (GMAAM) structural components.
