Barzin Mobasher obtained his BS, MS, and PhD. in Civil Engineering from the University of Wisconsin-Platteville, Northeastern University, and Northwestern University in 1983, 1985, and 1990, respectively.  After a two-year career in Industry, he joined Arizona State University in 1991 as Assistant Professor of Structural Materials.  He has been a professor at the School of Sustainable Engineering and Built Environment at ASU since 2004. 

Dr. Mobasher has led programs involved with the design, analysis, materials testing, and full-scale structural testing of construction, structural, and aerospace materials.  His publications include two books on fiber and textile reinforced concrete, five edited books, and more than 220 research papers in leading professional journals and conference proceedings. His fundamental contributions are in the analytical and experimental fields of fiber and ultra-high-performance concrete (UHPC), textile-reinforced concrete, and durability modeling for life cycle assessment. He has served as the Chair of the American Concrete Institute, ACI Committee 544 on Fiber Reinforced Concrete, and the Technical Activities Committees of both ACI and RILEM.  He is a fellow of both ACI and RILEM.
