Biography

Dr. Mehran Zeynalian is a full professor at the Department of Civil Engineering, University of Isfahan, and a prominent figure in structural engineering and construction project management in Iran. He earned his Ph.D. from The University of Queensland, Australia, specializing in the seismic performance of cold-formed steel structures and risk management in earthquake-prone regions, following his B.Sc. and M.Sc. degrees from Isfahan University of Technology. With over two decades of academic, research, and executive experience, Dr. Zeynalian has authored or co-authored more than 48 ISI journal papers, 71 conference papers, and several technical books and national codes. His innovative work on cold formed steel structures (CFS) has led to significant reductions in structural weight and costs, improved seismic performance, and enhanced environmental sustainability in large-scale projects. In addition to his academic role, he has held senior leadership positions, including Deputy Governor for Civil Affairs of Isfahan Province, Director of Technical Affairs at the University of Isfahan, and CEO of an innovation-based company in the university’s incubator center. He has supervised numerous graduate theses and postdoctoral projects, many of which have translated into industrial applications and national projects.
