About

I am currently serving as a remote faculty member for multiple higher-ed institutes such as CSUG, PG, and HACC. Previously, I served as an Assistant Professor of Construction Science in the School of Architecture at Prairie View A&M University and, before that, as a Lecturer in the College of Engineering at Texas A&M University. I hold a Ph.D. in Civil Engineering from Texas A&M University, where I completed the Construction Engineering and Management program. Prior to my academic career, I worked as a Planning and Project Control expert. Seeking to advance my education, I moved to College Station, Texas, to pursue my graduate studies. In 2006, I earned my Master of Science in Construction and Project Management from the University of Tehran. My research interests include construction scheduling using the Building Information Model as my Ph.D. dissertation topic and virtual management in construction for my M.Sc. thesis. As someone with years of programming experience, I am always eager to learn and implement new methods and technologies, leveraging my expertise to solve problems more efficiently and effectively.
