Ali Motamedi, PhD, was an adjunct professor in geotechnical engineering at San Diego State University, CA. He received his PhD from university of Akron, OH and specializes in geo-risk management using advanced quantitative approaches. He has done research on debris-flow runout hazard mapping (GIS) and seismically-triggered geo-hazard evaluation using PSHA analysis. He acquired his MSc degree on 2008 with focus on numerical modeling of earth-embankments using finite difference technique. During his PhD education, he gained knowledge working with pavement analysis tools and the monitoring instrumentations including inclinometer and related readout devices. He also has experience providing geotechnical service overseas (Iran), in southern California and Ohio. His experience includes risk analysis on soil slopes, foundation settlement and probabilistic soil characterization in Zarmehr and Soltanabad dam projects (Mashhad, Iran, 2007-2009). He also performed slope stability, foundation design and MSE walls calculations in Portola center project (Orange County, CA). Conducting tsunami hazard evaluation and foundation reliability calculations was part of his tasks in Shelter Island project (San Diego, CA bay area). He has been an active member of the geotechnical team at Resource International Inc. to work on HAM-75-10.10, Ohio Turnpike Reconstruction project, FRA-70-13.10 and Ohio River Bridges, Louisville, Kentucky.
