Dr. Jazaei is an accomplished Associate Professor and the Program Lead for the Civil Engineering Program at Slippery Rock University. She is the author of Fluid Mechanics Experiment, an inventor, and the recipient of numerous national and international awards for her outstanding contributions to engineering. Dr. Jazaei earned her Ph.D. in Civil and Environmental Engineering from the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, and holds an M.S. in Structural Engineering from Tehran Azad University, where she gained valuable experience as a professional engineer and project manager, working on various residential and commercial building projects. She completed her Bachelor of Science at Shahrood University of Technology in 2002. 

As a dedicated educator, Dr. Jazaei has taught a diverse range of courses in both civil and mechanical engineering, spanning foundational subjects to advanced design courses. She has also served as an advisor for capstone design projects and research teams, leveraging her extensive industry expertise to ensure her students are well-prepared for successful careers in engineering. Her teaching approach emphasizes project-based learning, promoting technical excellence and strong collaborative skills among her students. 

Dr. Jazaei’s research is centered on the experimental characterization and computational modeling of advanced materials under static and dynamic loading conditions. Her pioneering work with composites that incorporate multifunctional nanomaterials seeks to improve failure mechanisms, enable structural health monitoring, and enhance energy absorption. The multidisciplinary nature of her research bridges multiple fields in engineering and science, providing an intellectually stimulating environment for students, particularly those passionate about advanced materials, failure mechanics, image processing (SEM), and computational modeling (FEM). 

Dr. Jazaei is a voting member of ACI Committee 241-A01 (Application and Implementation of Nano-Engineered Concrete) and an active member of ASCE and ASME. Additionally, she serves as the faculty advisor for both the Society of Women Engineers (SWE) and the ACI student chapter at SRU.
