Ali Farhadzadeh

Ali Farhadzadeh is an Associate Professor at the School of Marine and Atmospheric Sciences, Stony Brook University. His research focuses on nearshore hydrodynamics, sediment transport, and coastal protection systems. He holds a Ph.D. from the University of Delaware's Center for Applied Coastal Research (2011). His work addresses resilient coastal infrastructure, wave-structure interactions, and disaster resilience for vulnerable communities.

Education: Ph.D., 2011 - Center for Applied Coastal Research, University of Delaware.

Research interests include coastal flooding mitigation, sediment dynamics under extreme events, and marine renewable energy resource assessment. His recent studies explore scour processes, oyster reef functionality, and human-centric flood resilience strategies.

Publications highlight trends in numerical modeling of wave impacts, physical experiments on bluff recession, and collaborative projects on debris dynamics. His research integrates computational tools with experimental data to improve coastal hazard prediction and infrastructure design.

Grants include SCC-CIVIC-PG Track A (2022) for socioeconomically disadvantaged coastal communities and collaborative NSF projects on scour mechanisms. He leads efforts in experimental facilities and field observations for coastal processes analysis.

Labs/Teams: Directs research on coastal hazards and resilience, with contributions to the School's marine and atmospheric science initiatives.
