Concrete Innovation for a Sustainable Future

My academic and professional expertise lies in Textile Reinforced Concrete (TRC), Alkali Activated Slag Cement (AASC), cement-free concrete, geopolymer concrete research, fiber-reinforced concrete, and eco-friendly concrete mix design. I specialize in optimizing the compressive strength of AASC, workability of TRC mixes, and developing slag-based binder systems with nano additives. My focus is on low-carbon building materials and the concrete sustainability index.

Bridging Vision and Construction

I have been involved as a Project Manager and Structural Consultant for large-scale projects including the Toranj Coastal Hotel, Melina Residential Complex, and the Zomorod Commercial Center. I am also actively engaged in construction materials innovation, TRC vs steel reinforcement studies, and the implementation of AI in Civil Engineering, including wireless vehicle charging and smart city infrastructure.

Smart Engineering with BIM Intelligence

As a BIM Manager, I lead workflows in 4D and 5D BIM simulations, clash detection, BIM-based cost estimation, IFC standards, and OpenBIM approaches. I develop BIM Execution Plans (BEP), support WBS integration, ensure Level of Development (LOD) and Level of Accuracy (LOA), and align with Employer's Information Requirements (EIR). I train teams in Revit and BIM curriculum for design coordination and construction scheduling.
