01/1998– 08/1999 Visiting Assistant Professor
Department of Aerospace Engineering and Mechanics
University of Alabama (UoA), Tuscaloosa, AL 35486
In this position, I taught several undergraduate and graduate courses in
engineering mechanics including Statics, Dynamics, Mechanics of Materials,
Advanced Dynamics, and Mechanics of Materials Laboratory.

12/1990 – 02/1997 Assistant Professor
Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering
University of Science and Defense Technology (USDT), Isfahan, Iran
At UDST, I was the director of the Office of Research from September 1991 to May
1993. My responsibilities in this position, aside from building capacity to carryout
applied research, was to develop the necessary infrastructure for research
initiatives, including staffing, administrative functions, financial management, and
coordination of specific research efforts. As a faculty of the Mechanical and
Aerospace Engineering Department, I was also actively involved in establishing a
graduate program in aerospace structures. This included, developing a structural
testing laboratory and the graduate curriculum, as well as teaching graduate
courses such as, Advanced Strength of Materials, Theory of Elasticity, Theory of
Plasticity, Advanced Structural Analysis using FEA, and Advanced Dynamics. I
also developed and taught a course on Theory of Thermal Stresses and its
application to aerospace structures. In addition to teaching the above-mentioned
graduate courses, I supervised master thesis and senior design projects. I also
taught the following undergraduate courses: Statics, Dynamics, Mechanics of
Materials, Aircraft Structures and Numerical Methods.

06/1995 – 02/1997 Associate Research Engineer (Part time)
Aircraft Manufacturing Company of Iran (H.E.S.A.), Isfahan, Iran
In this capacity, I supervised a team of engineers responsible for analysis and
structural substantiation on modifications for F-5 aircraft from a fighter plane to a
training aircraft. Tasks included finite element analysis, layout sizing, structural
integrity evaluations, and weight control. I also worked with a team of aerospace
engineers that prepared a preliminary design for modifying the Bell-214 main rotor
blades. I represented the structures discipline and also served as an aide to the
team leader in preparing the preliminary report and performance documents. I was
also a member of a technical committee that interviewed over a hundred structural
and mechanical engineers who were being hired by H.E.S.A. to work on a joint
project with Antanov aircraft to manufacture commercial airplanes (AN-140).

01/1993 – 05/1995 Associate Research Engineer (Part time)
Center for Marine Research
University of Science and Defense Technology (USDT), Isfahan, Iran
I supervised a team of structural engineers that were responsible for analyzing a
navy submarine for its structural integrity. In this team, there were five structural
engineers, including two graduate students that were working on the buckling of
ring-stiffened cylinders and cones under my direct supervision for their master's
thesis. Furthermore, I re-designed the bulkheads of the submarine, analyzed the
stress concentration near the recompression chamber, evaluated the corrosion
issues in the ballast tanks and designed composite tanks to mitigate the corrosion
problems, and performed detailed stress analysis of a two-man crew subsurface
vehicle (Dolphin).
