Emad M. Hassan

Dr. Emad M. Hassan is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Civil, Architectural and Environmental Engineering at Missouri S&T. He also serves as a research investigator at both the Center for Infrastructure Engineering Studies (CIES) and the Center for Intelligent Infrastructure (CII). Prior to his academic career, he worked as a structural design engineer in Cairo, Egypt (2012-2015) and later as a research scientist at Colorado State University before joining Missouri S&T.

Education:

• Ph.D. in Civil Engineering (2021), Colorado State University
• M.S. in Structural Engineering (2015), Cairo University
• B.S. in Civil Engineering (2011), Cairo University

Dr. Hassan's research focuses on infrastructure performance under extreme loadings, natural hazard risk assessment and mitigation, community resilience, and smart cities. His work combines experimental and analytical simulations with socio-technical models, network analysis, and machine learning. Key themes include resilience of healthcare and education networks, underwater repair of steel structures using fiber-reinforced polymers, and multi-hazard modeling for compound events like earthquakes and pandemics.
