Civil Engineering and Construction Management (CECM)
California State University Northridge, USA
Brief Autobiography:
I joined CECM Dept. at CSUN in 2015. I received my Ph.D. in Civil Engineering from UCLA in 2013 by majoring in Structural and Earthquake Engineering and minoring in Structural Mechanics. I have lectured at different universities including UCLA, Cal Poly Pomona, Cal State LA, and LMU. My research has been well-recognized and published in prestigious engineering journals. I am also a registered Professional Engineer (P.E.) in the State of California. (More info. at http://www.csun.edu/~tzirakian/)
