With a Master of Science in Civil Engineering specializing in Structures from Sharif University of Technology (SUT), Sajjad Hosseini has focused his academic and professional pursuits on earthquake engineering and structural resilience. His work on the SHELTER Project has been pivotal in developing Structural Hyper-Resistant Elements to mitigate risks from life-threatening earthquakes. The project combines experimental testing and computational modeling to design seismic shelters that enhance safety and mitigate damage to vulnerable structures.

Sajjad’s research includes static compression tests, shake table simulations replicating real-world earthquakes, and free-fall impact tests with crash dummies to evaluate the performance of safety systems. These studies have yielded critical insights into the structural stability of shelter systems under extreme conditions. Advanced computational tools, such as Finite Element Analysis (FEA), have been employed to optimize the efficiency and robustness of these designs, ensuring comprehensive validation through the integration of experimental and computational findings.

Currently completing his PhD at Instituto Superior Técnico (IST), Sajjad’s research extends to sustainable construction practices and modular systems in Portugal. His professional experience at R2UTechnology showcases his expertise in numerical analysis, experimental testing, and innovative construction solutions. Committed to collaboration and innovation, he aims to make significant contributions to the fields of earthquake engineering, structural resilience, and sustainable construction.
