Biography
Dr. Mehdi Khanzadeh Moradllo is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at Temple University. Before joining Temple, he was a Postdoctoral researcher at Oregon State University where he studied the durability and resiliency of infrastructure materials using advanced analytical and imaging techniques. Dr. Khanzadeh earned his PhD in Infrastructure Materials and Structural Engineering from Oklahoma State University. Dr. Khanzadeh has previous work experience of researching, designing, and specifying concrete materials and structures in both the laboratory and field and has over 50 publications in the area of durability and sustainability of concrete infrastructure. He is a recipient of the NSF CAREER Award, PCA J.P. Gleason Research Fellowship, TRB Best Paper Award for 2018, ASTM International Emerging Professional (2021), Giatec Best Paper Award (2020), Temple University Summer Research Award (2020 & 2024), OSU Honorary Graduate Commencement Marshal Award (2016), and the Kerry and Roberta Havner Fellowship in structures and mechanics in 2014 and 2015. His research interests include novel sustainable infrastructure materials, novel construction technologies (3D printing), durability and sustainability of concrete infrastructure, internal curing of concrete, chemical admixtures, concrete pavements, service life prediction, analytical imaging and microscopy techniques, concrete surface treatments, and supplementary cementitious materials. He is an active member of several American Concrete Institute Committees. In addition, he is a member of Transportation Research Board, American Society of Civil Engineers, and American Society for Testing and Materials.
