Dr. Atorod Azizinamini, P.E., Ph.D., is the Director of the National Bridge Research Organization (NaBRO) and an
Associate Professor of Civil Engineering at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln (UNL). Before joining the UNL Civil
Engineering faculty in 1989, Dr. Azizi was a practicing engineer for seven years. He has taught courses on design of steel
bridges using AASHTO LRFD and on bridge substructure design. He is chair of the ASCE Steel Bridge Committee and a
member of the AISI Steel Bridge Task Force and the Transportation Research Board Steel Bridge Committee. Dr. Azizi is
active in steel bridge research and frequently makes presentations on design issues related to steel bridges at national and
international conferences. His latest research activities concentrate on removing AASHTO limitations that prevent full
utilization of high-performance steel in bridge construction.
