ARC Industry Fellow
School of Civil Engineering
Dr Ali Amin is a Senior Lecturer and ARC Industry Fellow in the School of Civil Engineering. He has held academic roles at ETH Zurich and The University of Toronto and consulting roles at Pells Sullivan Meynink. Ali graduated with a Bachelor in Civil Engineering with Honours Class 1 and the University Medal in 2011, and a Doctor of Philosophy in Civil Engineering in 2015, both from UNSW. He was awarded the 2017 Concrete Institute of Australia National Bursary Award for the best Australian PhD dissertation in concrete and cement based products and processes (in the preceding two years). He is a chartered professional engineer. His teaching has won a UNSW Vice Chancellors Award for Teaching Excellence in the Early Career Category in 2016. Ali’s research interests are in the structural analysis and design of high performance and fibre reinforced concrete structures, and he was a substantial contributor to the new section on Steel Fibre Reinforced Concrete in AS5100.5-2017 & AS3600-2018.
