Introduction
Hi! I’m Hamid, an innovation engineer and Johns Hopkins alumnus with a passion for solving real-world problems through engineering and data-driven thinking. I really enjoy mentoring students and helping them turn their ideas into meaningful research projects. Outside of work, I enjoy staying active, going to a 5k run, hiking, and spending time with family and friends. I also like learning about new technologies, how they can be applied to engineering and everyday problems. I’m someone who enjoys thoughtful conversations, building ideas from scratch, and seeing others grow and succeed, it’s honestly one of the most rewarding parts of what I do.
Top Fields
Engineering, Earth & Environmental Science, Computer Science
Research Areas
This mentor can support interdisciplinary engineering and innovation projects, especially those involving design-and-build work, structural engineering, architecture, and engineering-focused applications of machine learning or AI.
They are also comfortable mentoring projects related to transportation, sustainability, environmental engineering, and construction materials.
Background
I have over 10 years of research experience in both academia and industry, primarily in civil and structural engineering, applied mechanics, and data-driven modeling. My work focuses on developing and validating innovative systems through a combination of modeling, experimental testing, and performance-based design approaches.
During my Ph.D. at Johns Hopkins University, my research focused on the seismic design and behavior of rood systems, including system-level performance and load transfer mechanisms.
Additionally, I have mentored students on independent research projects in areas such as AI applications in infrastructure, disaster resilience, and advanced construction materials and environmental impact. These projects often involve literature review, mathematical modeling, and translating research findings into publishable papers.
I also actively collaborate with academic researchers and industry groups (e.g., SJI, SDI) and contribute to technical reports, presentations, and ongoing research initiatives aimed at improving structural performance and design methodologies.
