Biography

Dr Hajirasouliha obtained his PhD in Earthquake and Structural Engineering from Sharif University of Technology in 2006. His research led to the development of an advanced optimisation theory in the field of seismic resistance design. He received the "Tavakoli Prize" for conducting original research at Sharif University of Technology in 2005, and was honoured with the "Distinguished Young Researcher Award" by the Iranian Earthquake Engineering Association in 2006.

In 2008, Dr Hajirasouliha was awarded a six-month EU Marie Curie Research Fellowship (En-core MCRTN) at the University of Sheffield on the use of internal FRP reinforcement in new RC structures. Subsequently, he received a two-year EU Marie Curie Individual Fellowship (FP7- IIF) on optimum strengthening of RC buildings using FRP composites. During this period, he was coordinator of the Earthquake Research Group at the University of Sheffield. Dr Hajirasouliha was appointed Lecturer in Structural Engineering at the University of Nottingham in 2010.

Expertise Summary

Dr Hajirasouliha has considerable expertise in Earthquake Engineering, Structural Dynamics, Structural Strengthening and Optimisation. He has over ten years part-time consultant experience in structural design and rehabilitation of industrial and residential structures that helped him to achieve a well-rounded profile by practically designing and coordinating various structural projects.
