Hossein Amir Salahshoor

Hossein Amir Salahshoor is an Assistant Professor of Civil and Environmental Engineering at Duke University. His research focuses on the mechanics of biological and bio-inspired systems, brain mechanics, data-driven methods, advanced (meta)materials and (meta)structures, material design, and the mathematics of materials and structures. He joined Duke from Caltech, where he conducted postdoctoral studies. Prior to that, he earned his Ph.D. in Aerospace Engineering from Georgia Tech and an MS in Mathematics. His work develops data-driven and computational frameworks to predict, control, and engineer complex material systems, addressing challenges in sustainability and health.

Hossein Salahshoor is a researcher at Duke University with a focus on advanced materials and computational mechanics. His work explores the mechanical behavior of complex systems, including viscoelasticity, metamaterials, and nanoscale interfaces. Salahshoor's research integrates data-driven methods with physical modeling to understand material responses under dynamic conditions. He has published on topics such as the fracture toughness of carbon nanotube-epoxy interfaces, the mechanics of ultrasonic neuromodulation, and the application of machine learning in solving high-frequency Helmholtz equations. His studies also address the structural and functional properties of biological systems, such as gas vesicles in Anabaena flos-aquae.
