Biography

Raied Karoumi is a Professor at KTH Royal Institute of Technology in the Division of Structural Engineering, specializing in bridges. With a rich background in research since 1999, he has developed methods for analyzing traffic-induced vibrations in bridges and vehicle-bridge dynamic interactions. His research incorporates advanced instrumentation for structural health monitoring of bridges and the development of evaluation methods for traffic loads, alongside life-cycle analysis (LCC & LCA) of bridges. He has taken a leading role in the instrumentation monitoring of bridges throughout Sweden. Professor Karoumi has authored or co-authored over 100 publications including papers, reports, and books, contributing significantly to the field of structural engineering. His doctoral thesis focused on the response of cable-stayed suspension bridges to moving vehicles and practical modeling techniques. He is also deeply involved in teaching and examining various courses in advanced bridge design and structural dynamics at KTH.
