Nima Khodadadi
Nima is a dedicated 2nd Ph.D. candidate at the University of Miami (UM), working under the esteemed mentorship of Professor Antonio Nanni. He holds a bachelor's degree in civil engineering and a master's degree in structural and civil engineering from the University of Tabriz, one of Iran's top ten universities, under the guidance of Dr. Siamak Talatahari. He earned his first Ph.D. at the Iran University of Science and Technology (IUST) with distinguished professor Ali Kaveh, focusing on steel structures, particularly in the experimental and numerical investigation of steel-braced frames.

Nima has been actively involved in engineering optimization, specializing in evolutionary algorithms with Professor Seyed Ali Mirjalili. His primary research interests include artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning, fiber-reinforced polymers (FRP), concrete, and metaheuristic algorithms. His work addresses single- and multi-objective engineering optimization, particularly solving large-scale and practical structural design problems. Recently, he has focused on AI techniques and applications for FRP-integrated concrete structures. His steadfast dedication has resulted in over 70 peer-reviewed publications, more than 2,800 citations by 2024, and an H-index of 34. His research interests also include Optimization, Swarm Intelligence, Evolutionary Algorithms, and Machine Learning.
