معرفی
Masoud Sanayei is a Professor of Civil and Environmental Engineering at Tufts University's School of Engineering, where he has been a faculty member since 1986. He currently serves as an active professor in the Civil and Environmental Engineering department, teaching courses in structural analysis, finite element analysis, and structural dynamics.
Dr. Sanayei's research focuses on bridge structural health monitoring (SHM), building train-induced vibrations, nondestructive testing of full-scale structures, and fatigue life prediction of structures with nonproportional multi-axial loading. His work has significantly advanced the field of structural health monitoring through the development of bridge signatures, an innovative nonparametric probabilistic method using operational bridge responses due to daily traffic for structural condition assessment.
His recent publications demonstrate a strong trend toward integrating advanced computational methods including deep learning and machine learning with traditional structural engineering approaches. His research spans from fundamental vibration analysis to practical applications in bridge and building monitoring, with particular emphasis on train-induced vibrations in over-track structures and fatigue assessment of complex connections.

Dr. Sanayei has secured numerous research grants from the National Science Foundation, Federal Highway Administration, and Massachusetts Port Authority, focusing on structural performance monitoring, fatigue assessment, and asset management. His professional activities include editorial board membership for the Journal of Bridge Engineering (ASCE), committee leadership in the AISC/ASCE Steel Bridge Competition, and active participation in technical committees related to structural identification.
His laboratory work includes extensive full-scale testing on structures such as the Tobin Bridge in Boston, Powder Mill Bridge in Massachusetts, Memorial Bridge in New Hampshire, Boston Convention Center, Hynes Convention Center, TD Garden, MIT Brain and Cognitive Science Center, and over-train-track buildings atop Shenzhen Metro Depot in China.
