Masoud Pedram is a postdoctoral research fellow and a member of the Intelligent Infrastructure Group within the Civil Engineering Department at Queen’s University Belfast (QUB). His engineering background started in 2005 at Persian Gulf University (PGU), Bushehr, Iran. His active engagement in research since 2008 has led to a Master of Science (MSc) degree with distinction in 2011, a PhD in Maritime Engineering in 2017 from Amirkabir University of Technology (AUT), Tehran, Iran, and a PhD in Civil Engineering in 2024 from QUB, Belfast, UK.
Masoud’s research contributes to the general theme of structural health monitoring and encompasses areas such as mechanics of construction materials, reinforced concrete, ULS and SLS estimation, measurement techniques, vibration-based damage detection, subsurface defect detection in concrete, Infrared thermography, finite element analysis (linear and nonlinear), finite element model updating, and damage localisation and quantification. He has presented his research findings at various national and international conferences and in renowned journals. He is also a recognised reviewer of journals published by famous publishers. .
He is currently focused on an industry-led project titled “Dispersed Non-metallic Reinforcement for Energy-efficient Manufacturing of Precast Concrete,” which aims to validate the use of basalt fibre reinforced polymer macro fibre in the production of precast concrete with a reduced carbon footprint.
