Mosalam obtained his BS and MS from Cairo University and his PhD from Cornell University in Structural Engineering. In 1997, he joined the Department of CEE, UC-Berkeley where he is currently the Taisei Professor of Civil Engineering, Director of the PEER Center, and Associate Director for Earthquake Hazard of the StEER Network. He conducts research on performance and health monitoring of structures including data analytics using machine and deep learning approaches for vibration-based and vision-based techniques. He is active in assessment and rehabilitation of essential facilities, and in research related to building energy efficiency and sustainability. His research covers large-scale computation and experimentation including hybrid simulation. He is the recipient of 2006 ASCE Huber Civil Engineering Research Prize, 2013 UC-Berkeley Chancellor Award for Public Services, 2015 EERI Outstanding Paper Award, 2020 ASCE Best Journal Paper in Materials and Structural Response, and 2021 Hojjat Adeli Award for Innovation in Computing. He is a Corresponding Member of the Academia de Ingeniería México, and an Elected Fellow of ASCE. He was a Visiting Professor at Kyoto University, Japan; METU, Turkey; and NTU, Singapore. Mosalam teaches classes related to the Finite Element Method (FEM), Structural Analysis, Structural Dynamics, Design and Behavior of Reinforced and Prestressed Concrete Structures, and Experimental Methods in Structural Engineering.
