Dr. Hamid Ahmadi serves as a lecturer in maritime systems and engineering at the University of Tasmania (UTAS) and an adjunct senior lecturer at the University of Southern Queensland (UniSQ). He holds a PhD in civil engineering, specializing in marine structures. Before joining the Australian Maritime College (AMC) at UTAS, he was a senior lecturer and an Advance Queensland Industry Research Fellow (AQIRF) at UniSQ’s Centre for Future Materials (CFM). Prior to his appointment at UniSQ, he was a research fellow at Griffith University. His research interests include structural mechanics, finite element modeling and analysis of complex infrastructures, analysis and design of tubular joints (stress concentration factor (SCF), local joint flexibility (LJF), degree of bending (DoB), ultimate strength, and fire resistance), design of offshore and coastal structures, constructional steel design, fatigue and fracture mechanics, structural reliability analysis, and probabilistic design, structural dynamics, random vibr
