Professor Kabir Sadeghi is an internationally recognized leader in Civil and Structural Engineering. He earned his Ph.D. in Civil (Structural) Engineering in 1995 and a Diplôme d’Études Approfondies (D.E.A.) (Deep Studies Diploma) in Civil Engineering (Land-based and Maritime Dynamics and Civil Engineering) in 1991, both from the prestigious Centrale de Nantes (École Centrale de Nantes)/University of Nantes, France. Also, he obtained an M.Sc. in Structural Engineering (1986) and a B.Sc. in Civil Engineering (1979), both from the Amirkabir University of Technology, Iran.
Professor Sadeghi has made groundbreaking contributions to the field by developing five original algorithms and formulations for the numerical simulation of nonlinear behavior and damage in structural members, as well as in confined and unconfined concrete. Professor Sadeghi has published over 100 peer-reviewed scientific papers in SCI, Scopus-indexed, and other high-impact international journals and conference proceedings, with over half as sole author or first author. He is also the author of two authoritative technical books that have become standard references for marine and offshore structural engineers, postgraduate students, researchers, and academics worldwide.
With extensive practical experience, Professor Sadeghi has played key leadership roles in major international projects involving high-rise buildings, marine, onshore, offshore, and industrial structures. He has served as project manager, project engineering manager, senior consultant, designer, and supervisor. He is the founder of the Iranian National Code for Marine and Offshore Structures and the founder of the biannual International Conference on Coasts, Ports, and Marine Structures (ICOPMAS). He organized and chaired the International Scientific Committee of ICOPMAS in 1990, 1996, 1998, and 2004.
Professor Sadeghi has been deeply committed to education and research, serving as an invited professor at leading institutions such as Sharif University of Technology and Amirkabir University of Technology for onshore and offshore structures.
Professor Sadeghi’s career reflects an exceptional blend of pioneering research, practical engineering leadership, code development, and dedicated academic mentorship, significantly advancing the global field of structural and offshore engineering.
