Alireza Bahrami

Alireza Bahrami is an Associate Professor (Docent) and Head of the Building Engineering Subject at the University of Gävle. He specializes in Civil and Structural Engineering, with expertise spanning academic research and industrial applications in construction. His responsibilities include teaching specialized courses, supervising student theses, and leading research on sustainable building materials and structural performance.

His research focuses on:

• Innovations in concrete technology (geopolymers, 3D-printed concrete)
• Structural strengthening techniques (FRP, post-tensioning)
• Sustainable material utilization (timber, waste ceramics, bagasse ash)
• Seismic and fire performance of structures

Recent publications emphasize sustainable construction, with dominant themes including geopolymer concrete development, timber connection systems, and waste-material integration. His work frequently employs experimental validation and machine learning for material optimization.

Dr. Bahrami leads research on structural retrofitting methods using eco-friendly materials like bamboo laminates and aluminum composites. He collaborates internationally on projects related to low-carbon concrete, cross-laminated timber, and infrastructure durability.
