Biography

Abbas Zangeneh Kamali is a researcher in the Division of Structural Engineering Bridges at KTH Royal Institute of Technology. He received his MSc in Hydraulic Structures (Civil Engineering) in Iran in 2003 and another MSc in Infrastructure Engineering from KTH in 2012. He has worked as a numerical analyst/structural engineer at ELU Konsult AB. Kamali earned his Ph.D. in 2021, focusing on dynamic soil-structure interaction analysis for high-speed railway bridges within the same division at KTH. Additionally, he spent time as a visiting researcher at KU Leuven in fall 2018, where he contributed to modal analysis of strongly coupled soil-structure systems using mixed finite element and perfectly matched layer models. His research areas include dynamic soil-structure interaction, railway bridge dynamics under high-speed trains, experimental dynamic testing, finite element model updating, ground borne vibration in buildings, nonlinear finite element analysis of concrete structures, and wind-induced vibration of bridges.
