Amin excels at assessing structural behavior and exploring various load paths to develop design solutions that enhance efficiency, safety, and resilience. He applies advanced analysis techniques in performance-based design to both new and existing steel and concrete structures. Amin received his bachelor’s degree in civil engineering and master’s in structural mechanics in Iran. He holds a Ph.D. in structural engineering from UCLA where he focused on modeling the strength degradation of reinforced concrete structural walls. Amin enjoys cooking, reading, and watching the Bruins’ dominance in college sports in his free time.
