Dr. Fatemeh Azhari
Dr Fatemeh Azhari is a Lecturer in Structural Engineering at the Department of Civil Engineering at Monash University. She received her B.Sc. degree in Civil Engineering at Isfahan University of Technology, Iran in 2010 and obtained her M.Sc. degree in Structural Engineering from the same university in 2012. She worked as a Teaching/Research Assistant at George Washington University and National Crash Analysis Centre, US from 2013 to 2014. She obtained her PhD in Structural Engineering at Monash University in August 2018. After completion of her PhD, she worked as a Research Fellow at Monash University for 10 months. She then worked as a joint research fellow at the University of Melbourne and the University of New South Wales for 2.5 years and focused on an integrated computational materials engineering (ICME) project funded by the Defence Science and Technology (DST) group. Her current research focuses on developing multi-scale computational tools for advanced materials and structures.
