Maryam Shakiba is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Aerospace Engineering Sciences at the University of Colorado Boulder, affiliated with the Aerospace Mechanics Research Center (AMREC). Previously, she held positions as an Assistant Professor of Civil and Environmental Engineering at Virginia Tech (2017–2022) and was a Postdoctoral Research Associate at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (2014–2016). She earned a PhD in Structural Engineering from Texas A&M University (2013), and earlier degrees from Amirkabir University of Technology, including an MS (2008) and BS (2006) in Civil and Environmental Engineering.
Her research focuses on computational mechanics with emphasis on multi-physics problems, materials and composites under extreme conditions, and physics-based machine learning modeling. Specific interests include composite materials, elastomer aging, asphalt concrete mechanics, and additive manufacturing effects on material behavior.
Her work has been recognized with prestigious awards, including the NSF CAREER Award (2022) and the Air Force Office of Scientific Research Young Investigator Program Award (2019). Her publications span topics such as damage prediction in composites, coupled thermo-hydro-mechanical modeling, and physics-based constitutive frameworks for aging materials.
Shakiba’s research integrates advanced numerical methods, data-driven approaches, and experimental validation to address challenges in material science and structural engineering. Her contributions advance understanding of material behavior under extreme conditions and inform engineering applications in transportation, energy, and aerospace systems.
