Alemu Mosisa Legese

Dr. Alemu Mosisa Legese is a Postdoctoral Researcher at the University of Delaware specializing in structural and coastal engineering. His work focuses on infrastructure performance under extreme hydrodynamic loads, including wave–structure interaction, tsunami impact, and scour on coastal bridges. He combines laboratory testing, field sensor deployment, and advanced simulations using Abaqus CEL, FLOW-3D, and PLAXIS 3D to develop resilience-based design strategies. His research also addresses predictive deterioration modeling of concrete in marine environments using probabilistic and AI-driven methods. Dr. Legese has published in journals such as Engineering Structures and contributed to Department of Defense and FHWA projects. He earned his Ph.D. in Civil Engineering from Wroclaw University of Science and Technology, Poland, and has over a decade of academic and consulting experience, including as Assistant Professor at Jimma University. He serves as a reviewer for leading journals and on the scientific advisory board of Archives of Civil Engineering. His work advances resilient infrastructure design and sustainable engineering solutions for coastal and structural systems.
