Iraj H.P. Mamaghani

Iraj H.P. Mamaghani is an Associate Professor in the Civil Engineering Department at the University of North Dakota. He earned his BSc from Istanbul Technical University and MSc/D.Eng. from Nagoya University, supported by scholarships from Monbusho, Nisho-Iwai, and Tsurukame Corporations.

• Research focuses on structural mechanics, steel and composite structures, and seismic engineering
• Key areas: cyclic plasticity, fiber-reinforced concrete, rock fence systems

Recent publications highlight advancements in thin-walled steel structures, machine learning for buckling prediction, and seismic design methodologies. His work bridges numerical modeling with experimental validation.

• 2024 articles explore stiffened-aluminum shells and cold-formed steel columns
• 2023 studies analyze steel tubular systems under extreme loads

Scientific honors include the Dean’s Prize (Istanbul Technical University, 1989) and Turk Ytong Sanayi A.S. Prize (1989).

Grants include $115,000 from NDDOT (2024) for fiber-reinforced concrete and prior funding from Japan Scientific Foundation and UND. His industry experience spans high-energy rock fence systems in Japan and structural consulting in Canada.
