Background

About Milad Roohi

I (Milad Roohi) am a tenure-track Assistant Professor in the Durham School of Architectural Engineering and Construction at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln (UNL) and the director of the Smart Resilient Infrastructure and Urban Systems (SiRIUS) lab (Website: sirius.unl.edu). As an educator, I am passionate about sharing my knowledge and expertise with students. I teach classes on Engineering Statics, Reliability of Structures. Infrastructure and Community Resilience, where I strive to instill a strong foundation in engineering principles and prepare students for the challenges of designing resilient and sustainable infrastructure. Prior to joining UNL, I worked as a Senior Scientist at Aon, the world's largest reinsurance intermediary, in the Impact Forecasting Catastrophe Modeling R&D Center of Excellence. I also completed my Postdoctoral Fellowship at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Center for Risk-Based Community Resilience Planning. At the SiRIUS lab, we conduct cutting-edge research on the interplay and connection between multi-disciplinary data, algorithms, computational models, and emerging technologies. Our aim is to enhance the performance, monitoring, and resilience of interconnected civil infrastructure and urban systems against deterioration, natural hazards, and climate change. By leveraging state-of-the-art tools and methodologies, we strive to make a positive impact on the future of infrastructure engineering and contribute to the development of smart resilient communities.
