Farshid Baharvand aims to develop innovative structural systems that enhance human life, improve building performance, and reduce the impact of natural hazards. Among his diverse interests are numerical modeling of Fluid-Structure Interaction (FSI) and Soil-Structure Interaction (SSI) problems, the application of probabilistic methods to assess risks under extreme hazard events, and developing innovative solutions to enhance and regenerate sustainability and resilience against climate change and natural disasters. His expertise includes numerical simulation and scientific machine learning, with research in two projects related to innovative design against extreme dynamic environmental actions:
1- Fluid-Structure-Soil Interaction: Enhancing the resilience of structures against natural hazards through advanced FSI and SSI methodologies.
2- Revitalization and Enhancement: Combining various solutions to enhance and regenerate built and natural environments.

Globally, tanks play a crucial role in providing access to clean drinking water. However, analyzing these tanks is challenging due to the complex interaction between the fluid and the tank walls, as well as the significant impact of Soil-Structure Interaction (SSI) on their dynamic behavior. This project focuses on simulating, reviewing, and identifying solutions to enhance and predict the seismic behavior of water storage tanks through improved Fluid-Structure-Soil Interaction analysis.
Coastal areas are home to a significant portion of the world's population, including many large cities. Climate change-induced disasters pose a substantial threat to coastal communities globally. Hybrid solutions, integrating hard engineering structures with Natural-based Solutions (NbS), have been proposed for coastal protection and adaptation. However, the maintenance costs of these structures could become prohibitively high under future climate change scenarios, requiring frequent upgrades and repairs. This project aims to explore the feasibility of innovatively combining NbS with more adaptable solutions to enhance coastal resilience against climate change.
