Portrait of Mostafa Sameer
Civil Engineering · Resilient & Connected Infrastructure

Mostafa Sameer

Doctoral Candidate · Moss School of Construction · Florida International University

My journey in civil engineering began in Bangladesh, where the devastating 2013 garment factory collapse strengthened my understanding of engineering as a responsibility to protect lives and communities. From my civil engineering education and industry experience at KDS Textile Mills to graduate study at Wayne State University and quality assurance work on the Gordie Howe International Bridge, each step deepened my interest in safer, more resilient infrastructure. Today, as a Ph.D. candidate at Florida International University, I connect structural and transportation engineering with geospatial analytics, digital twins, and data-driven methods to study bridge rehabilitation, flood risk, and infrastructure resilience. My goal is to turn engineering research into practical insights that help communities prepare for disruption and recover stronger.

Uses CDIAC emissions data (1960–2022) and World Bank GDP-PPP indicators to interpret four national emissions-profile clusters. K-Means with k = 4 achieved a silhouette score of 0.38; GDP-PPP was added after clustering for economic interpretation, not used as a clustering feature.
