Dr. Irshidat earned his Ph.D. in civil engineering from the University of Mississippi, USA in 2010. He got his Master and Bachelor degrees in civil engineering from JUST. He was ranked number one in both degrees. His research focuses on nanotechnology applications in civil engineering. During the last six years, while serving at Jordan University of Science and Technology, he worked on various research projects. One of his major projects was aimed at investigating the viability of using nanocomposites for strengthening of new reinforced concrete (RC) structures and as well as for repair and rehabilitation of existing RC structures. The results of the project showed the ability of using nano modified composites to enhance the load capacity of RC structures.
