Since November 2022, Alireza Entezami has been an Assistant Professor (RTDa) in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering (DICA) at Politecnico di Milano, Italy. Prior to joining this department as a faculty member, he was a postdoctoral research fellow selected by the European Space Agency (ESA), working in the DICA Department at Politecnico di Milano since May 2021. In April 2020, he received a Ph.D. in Structural, Seismic and Geotechnical Engineering from Politecnico di Milano with Cum Laude degree (highest possible grade), defending the dissertation “Vibration-based Structural Health Monitoring by Novelty Detection and Feature Extraction Techniques”. In addition, he obtained a Ph.D. in Civil Engineering - Structure from the Ferdowsi University of Mashhad with a Summa Cum Laude degree (highest possible grade), with a doctoral dissertation entitled “Structural Health Monitoring based on Statistical Pattern Recognition Methods and Vibration Data”. In September 2014, he obtained the M.Sc. in Civil Engineering - Structure at Ferdowsi University of Mashhad with a Summa Cum Laude degree (highest possible grade), defending the thesis “Structural Damage Detection by Modal Parameters”. His research interests span from model-driven structural damage detection to data-driven structural health monitoring and road defect detection, with a special focus on large-scale civil infrastructures and transportation systems.
