Biography (About):
Dr. Hossein Pahlavan is an Assistant Professor in the Structural and Earthquake Engineering Group, Department of Civil Engineering, Shahrood University of Technology, Iran. He has been engaged in teaching, research, and professional training since 2005. He holds a Ph.D. in Earthquake Engineering from Iran University of Science and Technology (IUST). His research focuses on performance-based earthquake engineering and structural reliability, with an emphasis on probabilistic seismic assessment of complex structural systems such as bridges and high-rise buildings. His current work includes seismic fragility analysis of tall buildings, soil–structure interaction, and seismic control of high-rise structures. He is also involved in structural engineering practice and has contributed to the design and construction management of several high-rise buildings in Iran. He has authored more than 50 peer-reviewed journal papers and three books in nonlinear structural analysis, and delivers national-level professional training courses in performance-based seismic design and nonlinear analysis of tall buildings.
