Dr. Ghasemi's specialty area within civil engineering is structural engineering. He is an Associate Editor of the Journal of Transportation Research Record. Dr. Ghasemi's current research focuses on structural reliability, infrastructure resilience, structural failure analysis, and seismic structural analysis. His previous research accomplishments include: development of load and resistance factor design for tunnels; development of Target Reliability: a selection of the target reliability index for both ultimate and serviceability limit states for bridges and recommendation for AASHTO LRFD; development of a new damage function called “Reliability-Intensity Surface”, as a powerful alternative to fragility curves; and development of a new instantaneous resilience metric with a combination of robustness and redundancy.
