Misagh Ketabdari has been an Assistant Professor (RTDA) since May 2021 at the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, Politecnico di Milano. From 2018 to 2021 he was a Post-Doctoral Research Fellow at the same sector. He received his doctorate in Environmental and Infrastructure Engineering in 2018 from the same University. He graduated with an M.Sc. in Civil Engineering for Risk Mitigation with an orientation in Emergency and Natural Hazards in 2013 from Politecnico di Milano, Italy. He has been a member of the MSc Graduation Commission in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering since May 2023. Since 2016 he has cooperated with the didactic and research activities at the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering of Politecnico di Milano. His endeavor in conducting numerous scientific activities since 2014 has brought him to develop several scientific models that can assess the risks of various accident scenarios related to transport infrastructures, in particular roads and airports. In the aviation sector, he simulated the interaction between the aircraft main gear and runway pavement for both wet and dry conditions to assess the aircraft landing distance required and he has evaluated the effectiveness of various mitigation strategies for risks of runway-related excursions (Undershoots, Overruns, and Veer-Offs).
