King Technology HallRoom S237Huntsville, AL 35899 Campus Map 256.824.7361ams0098@uah.edu Biography Dr. Abdullahi Salman is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at The University of Alabama in Huntsville. He received his B.Eng. degree from Curtin University, Malaysia campus in 2011, and M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in civil engineering from Michigan Technological University in 2014 and 2016, respectively. Prior to joining UAH, he was a Research Associate in the Civil Engineering Department at Case Western Reserve University from 2016 to 2018. Dr. Salman’s research focuses on the resilience of critical civil infrastructure systems subjected to natural hazards. His work involves statistical natural hazard modeling, infrastructure resilience assessment, modeling the interdependency of critical infrastructure systems, infrastructure maintenance planning and optimization, and community resilience. He is particularly interested in developing cost-effective risk mitigation and resilience improvement strategies based on a probabilistic risk assessment framework. The ultimate goal of his research is to develop a comprehensive decision support framework that will guide stakeholders to make risk-informed decisions and prioritize investment in the planning, operation, and management of critical civil infrastructure systems. Dr. Salman is an active member of the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), the American Institute of Steel Construction (AISC), and the American Concrete Institute (ACI). He is a member of the ASCE Multihazard Mitigation Committee.
