Dr. Kamran M. Nemati is received his Ph.D. in civil engineering from the University of California at Berkeley in December 1994, where he was also a post-doctoral research fellow until August 1998. His Ph.D. thesis entitled: "Generation and Interaction of Compressive Stress-Induced Microcracks in Concrete". His other graduate degrees are: Master of Science in civil engineering (Environmental Engineering); Master of Engineering in civil engineering (Geotechnical and Construction Engineering); and Master of City and Regional Planning (Urban Transportation Planning).

Prior to joining the State University of New York at Buffalo in 2022, Dr. Nemati was a professor and chair of civil engineering at the University of Arizona global campus in Cambodia from 2019 to 2022 and an associate professor in construction management and civil engineering at the University of Washington from 1998 to 2019. He was a visiting research fellow at the Imperial College of Science and Technology in London, England in 1992-93, and at Aalborg University in Denmark in 1996. During 2005-2007 academic years he was a visiting professor at Tokyo Institute of Technology in Japan, followed by a JSPS (Japan Society of the Promotion of Science) fellowship at the Building Material Engineering Laboratory at the University of Tokyo.

Dr. Nemati is a fellow of the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), fellow of the American Concrete institute (ACI), a registered professional engineer (P.E.) in New York, California, Washington, Louisiana, Florida and Hawaii, and has more than fifteen years of consulting engineering experience mostly with AECOM in Oakland, California.
